You can check out the first look at this new special below ahead of its debut this March.

I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too is returning for a new TV special set after the events of the anime’s first season later this March, but a concrete release date has yet to be announced as of this time. The special has previously teased that it would be releasing towards the end of March, so fans should keep an eye out for that. Unfortunately, international release plans for the new special have yet to be announced as of this time either.

The anime adaptation for Miku and Rein Kuwashima’s I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too original light novel series ran for a single season back in 2023, so this is the first proper comeback for the franchise in three long years.

But hopefully, this is the first of more of the Isekai anime to come.

How to Catch Up With I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World Anime

If you wanted to catch up with the first season of I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too, you can now find the anime exclusively streaming with Crunchyroll in the meantime. There’s a hope that they will be offering the new special as well since it’s not a full second season, but we’ll have to see the closer we get to the new episode’s debut.
