Unfortunately, Okuruto Noboru, the studio behind the anime series, hasn’t yet renewed the show for the second season. The first season concluded with Tomodachi Game Episode 12 on June 22, 2022. So it’s quite early to guess whether Tomodachi Game Season 2 will return. However, fans are curious to learn more about the show and how things will end. But we can expect the studio to announce the fate of the anime series soon. So there’s no need to fret.

Is It Coming Back?

As of now, the Okuruto Noboru studio hasn’t renewed the anime series for the second run. The first season has just wrapped up, but its popularity is skyrocketing in this period. Since the beginning of the anime series, it drew fans’ attention, and its popularity continued to grow throughout the season. Thus based on the popularity, the studio will indeed return with Tomodachi Game Season 2. Further, this increase in popularity has resulted in an increase in viewership. So it won’t appear as a surprise if the show returns for the second run.

Apart from this, the Tomodachi Game succeeds in amazing fans as well as critics. The audience critically acclaims Tomodachi Game. It gained 7.7/10 positive responses on MyAnimeList, 7.5/10 on IMDb, 4.5/5 on Crunchyroll, and 75% on AniList. Besides this, the first season wrapped up on an inconclusive note. It seems like the creators have planned well to narrate the rest of the story in the future installment. Hence we can expect that Tomodachi Game Season 2 will return soon.

Is There Enough Source Material?

You will be glad to learn that plenty of source material remains to be covered. Tomodachi Game manga series consists of 20 volumes, while the first season has only explored six out of 20 volumes. It means there’s a lot of source material to explore. We can expect Tomodachi Game will come up with almost two more installments. Further, the manga series is currently revolving around the Adult Tomodachi Game arc, while the anime series ended with the fourth game. Plus, the first season of Tomodachi Game ended on a cliffhanger where they were about to introduce the fourth game named Friendship Guilt Court. So it hints that Tomodachi Game Season 2 will return.
