Love Live! School Idol Festival 2, the sequel to the hit anime rhythm game, has been announced

The sequel to the beloved mobile anime rhythm game Love Live! School Idol Festival has officially been announced during the SIF Series Thanksgiving Festival 2022. This new entry brings lots of new songs alongside four new groups of students that will each have their own stories!

If you aren’t familiar, the Love Live project is an all-encompassing multimedia experience that ranges from songs to anime series to short stories and light novels and everything in between. Regardless of where you decide to hop in, the general gist of each story is a collection of high school Japanese students who become school idols as an extracurricular. Each song is self-written, and the stories are always quite heartwarming and often about friendship and school life as a whole.

The rhythm game in question was launched in 2013, developed by KLab, and has seen immense success alongside the likes of the Hatsune Miku mobile game or BanG Dream! It’s a gacha game, but rather than worrying about stats or party composition, you’re mostly concerned with acing all of the songs in the game and collecting new costumes and versions of all of your favourite characters.

As for what School Idol Festival 2 introduces, you can expect four groups that will each have their own stories to experience. These are the μ’s group, the Nijigasaki School Idol Club, Aquors, and Liella! Each of these groups has been seen before in different pieces of the Love Live project, but SIF 2 seeks to allow you to grow close to each of them in their own personal stories.

Currently, there’s no planned release date, but we hopefully won’t have to wait too long to get in on those catchy anime tunes again. For now, you can keep up to date with the official website for more information!
