Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online Season 2 is expected to premiere on Oct. 4, 2024. The series will then release episodes weekly following this date each of which will be available to watch on Crunchyroll throughout the Fall 2024 anime season.

This will be the second season for the Sword Art Online spinoff that aired its first season back in 2018. That means fans have had to wait six whole years to see what happens next in this story, but there still hasnā€™t been any shortage of Sword Art Online content to binge through.

Before Gun Gale Online Season 2 gets here thereā€™s no better time to binge through the entire franchise so far. To make sure youā€™re on the right track in doing this, it is well worth using a watch order to ensure youā€™re following the story. Since there are several universes in this franchise it can be forgiving in whatever order you watch it, so donā€™t worry too much if youā€™ve already started.

For those who donā€™t want to wait for October, you can always get a glimpse at the story to come by reading the Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online light novels. These are the source material that the anime is based on, and there are 13 in total, so youā€™ve got plenty of reading to do if you choose to go this route.

Another way to refresh your brain on what has happened so far is to binge through Season 1 which is available in its entirety on Crunchyroll now.
