I believe it will. We still have a lot more things to see and know so it can't stop here. So far, the show is really good and it's one of the best anime adaptations of a game I have ever seen. I'm hoping for a 3rd season.

i watched the first season not expecting much from a game adaptation but damn was I proven wrong. I've even gone so far as to research lore on the game and I can say, I am loving the plot and art that the game has provided.

I hope there will. I'm enjoying the current season much more than the first one and I'm really invested in the story and the characters now

I agree with you, man. I wasn't expecting much from the first season too but I really enjoyed it and I am enjoying this second season. I am hoping for a third season tbh.

Good question, material for other seasons is certainly there considering that the game has existed for years. What worries me is the popularity, compared to the first season, the second season has 1/3 of the members of the first.

We just have to wait for the last episode to see if perhaps they have already planned a third season or not.

Most surely, they've been sneaking in a lot of foreshadowing from future story content. Wouldn't be there if the plan wasn't to do more

it's based on a game and follows the games story. so all foreshadowing will be due to the game rather than the show I think

Oh there will definitely be another season, if not two. At the very least.

Team has been very clear about wanting to adapt all of this, so until chapter 8 at the very least (this season ends at chapter 6, and technically both 7 and 8 can be considered two standalone arcs each).

Why wouldn't it get a 3rd season? I'm seeing positive feedback everywhere regarding S2 so far.
The game is doing really good regarding revenue.
The game 2 days ago won the "Hollywood Music Media Awards - Best Visual Media Live Concert".
The current event "Lone Trail" on the global servers is highly praised and people are calling it the best Arknights story ever.

@sayu-simp

Yeah and I've been playing this game since launch, they have been a lot more vivid with the foreshadowing and future story points than they were in the game itself. Not to mention that the content from episode 6 (5-8) has been greatly re-arranged to fit within episodes nicely, which I like a lot.

how much in-game content is there left? in terms of seasons

From a personal perspective, I wish that the most assured season 3 adapts or at least adds part of the content from the more main story-related events into the anime. Like there is one related to W, that dives into her character, her backstory, and extra events that happened during what would be season 1 of the anime. There's also one such story for Kal'tsit.

It would really help to lay out more groundwork for season 3 and potentially onward, since episode 7 and 8 in the game are big and wide-spanning.

personally, I'd like to see all of the main story (amiya and doctors journey) adapted as a show and maybe a film for the side stories and stuff.

Main story is 5 seasons worth of content so far.
There are about 40 side stories, each one would require 2-6 episodes depending on the story and adaptation speed.

I'd be really glad if an S3 were to be adapted, Arknights is my favorite gacha game adaptation and both seasons were a bit of a surprise on me.

I'm hoping they adapt darknights memoir through an OVA or make it part of season 3.

@sayu-simp
If TLDR about 6+ seasons and 3+ OVAs. That's what's most likely to be adapted from in game content.

By in-game content, I assume you mean the in-game content for the main story because otherwise there's just too many for me to give a plausible approximation.

OVAs are the likeliest format for certain side stories(ss) that are directly connected to the main story but they could either be their own season or be merged with a future season following the main story.

The main story is divided in arc 1 and arc 2.
It is unsure whether the anime will adapt arc 2. The in-game story is currently in arc 2.

To finish arc 1 there are 2 seasons + 1 OVA(Darknights Memoir) remaining. If they do adapt that OVA it is much more likely for them to adapt arc 2.

2 OVAs between Arc 1 and 2. (Walk in the dust + Vigilo)

At least 4 seasons of content in Arc 2 including CN main story for now.

I'm really unsure if the stuff below will be adapted.
A season dedicated to the ss(Undertides + Stultifera Navis + perhaps a bit of Grani and the Knight's treasure).

A season dedicated to the ss(Lone trail)

1 OVA(What the firelight casts)

I hope I didn't forget something important.

Less than 10% of the story has been animated. Probably less than 5% when you consider how later stuff just gets longer and longer.

Given the pacing the show had so far and the fact that season 2 exists.

There should be one more season to tie up the first main story arc.

90% there will be

Otherwise they wouldn't have dropped the cliff-hanger with the "message" at the end that leads to the next event/ arc.

.

and yea, as said, we're only into the "beginning" chapters of Arknight's in-game Storyline.

There's a lot of "events" and "chapters" that can pretty much give 5+ more season. (and more since the game is a on-going game and is still adding in more content)
