After five years of God Eater’s release, fans have started to lose hope for God Eater Season 2. As of now, anime studio Ufotable is yet to confirm the return of the anime. Similarly, the creator of the God Eater video game, Bandai Namco Entertainment, hasn’t announced the release of another sequel. However, that does not rule out the possibilities of their renewal. In fact, according to speculations, there is still hope for the anime and game both. Here’s some insight into the future of your favorite show.
Bandai Namco Entertainment’s RPG video game, God Eater, debuted on PlayStation Portable back in February 2010. In no time, the sci-fi game became immensely popular amongst Millenials and Gen Z alike. The company later released several sequels and versions of the game. God Eater 2 and 3 were launched in November 2013 and December 2018, respectively. Studio Ufotable picked up the theme for an anime adaptation that premiered midway in July 2015. After its first broadcast, fans began to anticipate a second season of the anime.
When Will God Eater 4 (Game) Come Out?
None of the companies related to the anime or game production have spoken about the sequels yet. However, that does not mean there won’t be any new installments in the future. God Eater 3 game was released in December 2018 in Japan and in February 2019 for international fans. In March 2020, Bandai Namco Ent. released the final chapter (of God Eater 3) called Traversing The Past (Episode Ein) with an update 2.50. Hence, it hasn’t been long since the completion of the third game.
Based on the game’s history, God Eater 4 (game) might take a few years to return. Most of its previous sequels were released with a gap of two or more years. Besides, such high-quality games (or versions) usually require more time to make. Thus, it’s only fair for the fourth part to launch sometime around later 2021 or 2022. Yet, the anime sequel might only get a renewal once God Eater 4 is confirmed.
God Eater Season 2 (Anime): Renewal Updates
Is there any hope?
Indeed, there is. The chances for the return of God Eater Season 2 are pretty decent. The first installment of the anime was a hit amongst audiences from all around the globe. In fact, it also received fairly positive reviews from fans and critics alike. Hence, it will be a profitable deal for Ufotable to greenlit God Eater Season 2. Even though fans are losing hope for the new season, it is likely to make an exciting comeback sometime soon.
However, most Japanese anime are released solely to promote their source material. The first season of the God Eater anime helped spike the sales of God Eater Ressurection (2015) and God Eater 3 both. Now that there are no new games releasing, the anime sequel has no purpose of release. Hence, the second season of the television show might come out sometime around the launch of God Eater 4.
What Will Be The Plot Of The Anime Sequel?
While waiting for the anime, fans have started to speculate about the plot of God Eaters Season 2. Amongst many theories, one of them has been trending amid all fans of the anime and the game. Based on reports, Lenka Utsugi might emerge as the new lead character in the upcoming installment. Now that Lindow has lost his arm while battling Aragami, the story’s focus will shift to Lenka. Yet, Lindow and Shio both are expected to return.
On the other hand, fans might get to see a brand new lead character in God Eater Season 2. While this new character has not been defined, he/she is expected to be the spotlight in the latest episodes. As of now, we can only hope for the anime to get a renewal and follow the said premise. Keep an eye on this corner for all exciting updates related to the iconic franchise.
When Will God Eater Season 2 Release?
As of now, the producers of the anime are yet to renew the sequel. Therefore, God Eater Season 2 does not have a set date for the premiere. However, as mentioned before, God Eater 4 (game) is likely to come out sometime towards late 2021 or 2022. Thus, the second season of the anime might release a few months before or after the game’s launch. Even so, a 2022 or 2023 release date seems most plausible.
