The hit anime series Tomodachi Game took the spring 2022 season by storm with its mind-bending psychological thriller plot. As the massive cliffhanger from season 1, fans everywhere are desperate to know – will there be a Tomodachi Game Season 2?
The Story So Far
Tomodachi Game follows high school student Katagiri Yuichi and his group of close friends. They get roped into playing twisted “friendship games” by a shadowy organization. In these games, they must put their bonds of trust and friendship to the ultimate test while working to pay off a huge debt owed by one of them.
Yuichi needs to uncover the real traitor amongst his friends and take down the cruel friends game masters once and for all. The anime adapts the psychological manga series written and illustrated by Yuki Sato.
Tomodachi Game Season 2 Release Date
So when can we expect Season 2 to arrive? Unfortunately, the studio Okuruto Noboru has not officially renewed the show yet. Since no one involved has commented, we can only make an educated guess based on other factors.
If all goes well, our best estimate is that Tomodachi Game Season 2 will premiere sometime in the first or second quarter of 2025.
But anime fans don’t need to wait for the new season! The anime only adapted up to Chapter 25 of the source material, which now has over 100 chapters published. Manga readers have plenty of source material to explore while waiting for Season 2.
The Talented Voice Cast
Any Season 2 would likely bring back the same talented voice cast that helped bring the first anime season to life:
- Chiaki Kobayashi as Yuichi Katagiri, the determined protagonist
- Daiki Hamano as Tenji Mikasa
- Yume Miyamoto as Shiho Sawaragi
- Lastly, Tomohiro Ono as Shibe Makoto, suspect of stealing money.
What to Expect in Tomodachi Game Season 2 (spoilers alert)
At the end of Season 1, Yuichi took on immense pain and injured himself to save his friend Yutori from the brutal “Weak Win Game.” Though victorious, the ordeal left Yuichi badly hurt and unconscious.

In Season 2, the responsibility to defend their accused friend Shibe will fall to Tenji and Yutori. They’ll have a choice: skip straight to the next game but at the cost of abandoning Shibe. Or they can fight to prove Shibe’s innocence in the twisted “Friendship Guilt Court” game.
To save Shibe, they’ll need to convince a jury made up of their very own classmates. But as they play, Tenji and Yutori may start questioning whether Shibe is even worth saving after all. Stay tuned for more anime updates!
