Shangri-La: Frontier season 3: Release date speculation, cast and latest news
Shangri-La: Frontier season 2 has gone down a treat – so can we expect a season 3 in the future?
Shangri-La: Frontier season 2 might only have just come to a dramatic end, but fans are already clamouring for another instalment of the anime – and, fortunately, a third season has now officially been confirmed!
The anime series follows the story of Rakuro Hizutome, a teenage boy who loves video games. This might already sound like a familiar concept for an anime, but Rakuro has his own quirks that make him stand out from the crowd.
For one thing, his favourite games are, in his own words, "trash". Utter garbage. The most unplayable, buggy VR games you can think of. There's no accounting for taste, is there?
However, trash or not, Rakuro's sights are pulled away from the garbage heap to something a little different: Shangri-La: Frontier, a VR game with 30 million players and increasing. More than that, it's high-quality.
Intrigued, Rakuro signs up and takes on the role of Sunraku, a character with a bird mask and all the skills he learned after years of playing glitchy, buggy games.
Since then, Sunraku has faced a ton of challenges: leveling up to level 99, battling difficult enemies, and the most fearsome task of all – learning the power of friendship by joining a clan that depends on him.
Shangri-La: Frontier has everything you could want in a shonen: friendship, intense battles, and slick animation that will make your jaw drop.
Season 2 ended with a huge cliffhanger in the middle of a new arc, paving the way for an exciting third season.
So, what can we expect? Read on to learn everything you need to know regarding Shangri-La: Frontier's future.
