10 Years Later, Fan-Favorite Isekai Reveals New Look Ahead of Season 2 Return

10 years after this fan-favorite Isekai anime series came to an end, it has revealed a new look at its second season return now in the works. It’s been an especially great era for Isekai anime releases as fans have not only gotten to see a ton of new Isekai adaptations making their debuts, but many of the more successful shows have been picked up for multiple seasons at this point. It turns out that this success even extends to some fan-favorite Isekai hits that have been dormant for a very long time.

GATE is a notable Isekai series because of how it shakes things up. Kicking off with a war between a fantasy world as it invades the real world, it had focused on how Japanese military forces banded together to work through this new conflict. 10 years after it originally ended, the series has revealed a new look at its Season 2 comeback and it’s going to take a much different route than before with its sequel. You can check out the new look at GATE 2: Tides of Conflict below.

What to Know for GATE Season 2
