What to Know for Sword Art Online Alternative

Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online Season 2 will be premiering later this October as part of the Fall 2024 anime schedule. Masayuki Sakoi will be returning from the first season to direct for Studio 3Hz, Yosuke Kuroda will be handling the scripts, and Yoshio Kosakai will be designing the characters.

You can catch up with the first season of the anime streaming with Crunchyroll and Hulu, and they tease Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online as such, "In the world of guns and steel that is Gun Gale Online, LLENN has been a devoted, female solo player. She is obsessed with two things: donning herself entirely in pink and honing her skills with consistent game play. She soon discovers her love for hunting other players (a.k.a. PK), soon to be known as the 'Pink Devil.' Meanwhile, LLENN meets a beautiful yet mysterious player, Pitohui, and the two click right away. Doing as she is told by Pitohui, she enters the Squad Jam group battle."
