It looks like fans will get a chance to peek into the Eagle Jump offices once again! Yesterday, a New Game! fan event, called “New Game! Fan Thanks Event ~Next Level~”, was held in Tokyo. At the event, the staff revealed that a second season of the New Game! anime is in the works.
A visual was revealed to celebrate the news:
New Game! is based on Shoutarou Tokunou’s manga of the same name. The show’s first season aired during the Summer 2016 broadcast season.
Yoshiyuki Fujiwara (Plastic Memories) directed the first season at studio Doga Kobo, with Ai Kikuchi (Engaged to the Unidentified) providing character designs. Fumihiko Shimo (Myriad Colors Phantom World) was in charge of series composition.
Crunchyroll currently streams the first season of the New Game! anime. They describe it as:
After graduating high school, Suzukaze Aoba joins Eagle Jump, the game company that developed Fairies Story, the game she obsessed over as a kid. On her first day as a working member of society, Aoba heads to work swaying in a packed, morning rush hour train. She manages to get to the office building all right but hesitates, wondering if it was really okay for her to take that last step and go inside. That’s when a senior member of staff, Toyama Rin, shows up at work and safely leads Aoba inside the offices of Eagle Jump.
