Ever since the anime released its final episode back in June 2022, fans have been highly anticipating the release of Skeleton Knight in Another World season 2. Despite the fact that, like several Isekai anime, this anime holds a similar plot, fans love its characters and want to see them make their second run.

Skeleton Knight in Another World follows the story of a man who happens to sleep while playing an online game. Surprisingly, when he woke up, he found himself inside the game, having donned the persona of his in-game character, making him overpowered. He soon became an adventurer and began his quest.

As of now, it's difficult to say if the Skeleton Knight in Another World anime will have a second season or not.

The anime's first season ended in June 2022. However, the animation studio or the anime's website has yet to announce a sequel season. Hence, it's difficult to confirm if there will be Skeleton Knight in Another World season 2.

Nevertheless, as revealed by the Official Government Gazette, the anime's production company Studio Kai has suffered huge financial losses. According to the reports, the animation studio has already lost over 1 billion Japanese Yen in its operations.

As per reports, the studio lost 104 million yen, which is nearly US$772,000, in 2021.

Following that, Studio Kai lost 381 million yen in 2022, which is nearly US$2.82 million. Overall, the company is now in debt by 1.37 billion yen with a negative income of 1.05 billion yen.

Considering that the anime's first season did not make any noticeable profits, the chance of Skeleton Knight in Another World season 2 being greenlit seems very low.


When can fans expect Skeleton Knight in Another World season 2 to be released?

Skeleton Knight in Another World season 2 is yet to be announced. However, considering that the anime was one of the production company's biggest projects, there still remains a possibility of a return.

If the anime studio's staff does decide on that, there's a good chance for the anime to make a come back in late 2024 or 2025.

Given that it usually takes about a year to produce a 12-episode anime, it may take quite some time for the anime to be released after it gets announced. Thus, even if the anime were to be announced in December 2023, it should take about a year for Skeleton Knight in Another World season 2 to premiere.

During the one-year time period, fans can expect the anime studio to release the series' visuals, promotional videos and trailers, hyping the anime's return.

Nevertheless, given the anime studio's condition, there's a small possibility that it may transfer its responsibilities to another studio. Such a transfer could either make or break a series. Hence, there is no way of knowing whether the series' second season will be a hit or not.
