Here’s Everything We Know
Goblin Slayer is a popular Japanese light novel by Kumo Kagyu that has been adapted into a TV anime series. Known for its blend of dark fantasy, action, and adventure, the series explores themes like Survival, Revenge, and Slaying.
With 16 light novels and 14 manga volumes published, the Goblin Slayer franchise has plenty of source material left. This content not only provides fans with ample material to explore but also leaves the door open for potential future seasons.
The story revolves around Goblin Slayer, a silver-ranked adventurer. He has a relentless passion for goblin hunting. He meets a young priestess who joins him on his quests, along with other companions who share his goal, his crusade against the goblin menace.
Goblin Slayer Season 2 will continue to follow Goblin Slayer and his party as they embark on an adventurous journey through this dark fantasy world. While Goblin Slayer desires a goblin-free life, Priestess remains determined to support him and his cause.
The main characters from the previous seasons, including Goblin Slayer (voiced by Yuuichirou Umehara), Priestess (voiced by Yui Ogura), High Elf Archer (voiced by Nao Touyama), and Dwarf Shaman (voiced by Yuuichi Nakamura), will return in Season 2.
To date, there has been one season of Goblin Slayer. The series is available for streaming on Crunchyroll and Funimation. The first season, aired in 2018, consists of twelve episodes.
Furthermore, Goblin Slayer received a movie titled Goblin Slayer: Goblin’s Crown, which released in 2020. The movie serves as a direct continuation of the first season. It’s unclear if Season 2 will begin with it, so you should watch it.
“Goblin Slayer: Another Adventurer – Nightmare Feast”, a spin-off game, will launch for Nintendo Switch and PC in winter 2023.
WHITE FOX produced the first season and the movie of Goblin Slayer. However, studio LIDENFILMS will handle the production for the upcoming second season. Misato Takada and Takaharu Ozaki will direct the new season.
This anime series has many fans that want to know when Goblin Slayer s2 is coming out so they can watch Goblin Slayer season 2 episode 1. The good news is that they have scheduled the second season to air in 2023. However, the exact premiere date is unknown.
The release date announcement was accompanied by a key visual showing Goblin Slayer and his party on a poster. The key visual depicts Goblin Slayer, Sword Maiden, Priestess, and High Elf Archer. That’s everything we know about Goblin Slayer Season 2.
So now, let’s look at the most likely Goblin Slayer Season 2 release date.
Check out information about other anime sequels! Like Re Zero Season 3, One Punch Man Season 3, or KonoSuba Season 3.
Goblin Slayer Season 2 Release Date
The Goblin Slayer Season 2 production team has not yet announced the release date. At least now we know officially that Goblin Slayer Season 2 is coming in 2023.
Only one anime season remains in this year, the Fall 2023 season, which means the third season release date is likely October 2023.
On average, it takes around 12 to 18 months for the release of a new season after its announcement.
However, the studio and staff change from WHITE FOX to Studio LIDENFILMS is why this sequel is coming out much later than usual.
Don’t worry about more delays. AnimagiC 2023 will premiere the first two episodes of Goblin Slayer season 2. We should get the release date really soon, and it will air in 2023, as officially announced.
I will update this post as soon as there is any information on the Goblin Slayer Season 2 release date or any other news on the official website for the Goblin Slayer anime.
