No Game No Life Season 2 — Still Unconfirmed as Demand Continues

Despite No Game No Life remaining one of the most requested anime sequels in online polls year after year, Season 2 remains unconfirmed. Yuu Kamiya's slow novel output and production factors have kept Season 2 in limbo since the first season aired in 2014.
