Clevatess Season 2 will move Alicia, Klen and Clevatess into a new setting. In an interview published on July 28, 2026, the anime's team discussed the sequel's direction and the changing dynamic between its three central characters.

Alicia, Klen and Clevatess face a different balance
The announced change is a creative shift rather than a spectacular reveal. The sequel retains its main characters but places them in an environment where the alliances and rules established during their first confrontations no longer apply in the same way.
Alicia is no longer defined only by her status as a warrior. Klen remains the group's most vulnerable human element, while Clevatess, sovereign of the magical beasts, brings an ongoing tension that can extend beyond direct combat. This direction could create more room for investigation, negotiation and mistrust without abandoning the series' dark fantasy atmosphere.
The Crunchyroll interview on July 28 presents this evolution as part of the existing story. The official website confirms Lay-duce as the animation studio and Kiyotaka Taguchi as director. You can also visit our news section for upcoming anime and gaming updates.
The sequel must preserve the first season's tension
The first season drew its strength from the contrast between a familiar heroic quest and a universe that refused easy answers. The trio gave the series a more ambiguous tone than many adventure-fantasy stories. Season 2 can extend that identity if the new setting serves the characters' relationships rather than functioning as a transitional backdrop.
The comparison with a more contemplative fantasy adventure such as Frieren highlights a difference in tone, not an equivalence. A journey can deepen the characters, but Clevatess remains far more hostile and conflict-driven. The interview does not yet detail the structure of the upcoming episodes, so the comparison remains limited. The direction is nevertheless more promising than simply repeating the same duels.
A setting change only works if it changes the story
The promise of Season 2 rests on a narrative shift, not on an announced overhaul of the series. The new setting will need to alter the balance of power around Alicia, Klen and Clevatess to avoid becoming a backdrop for a succession of fights against new monsters. The Frieren comparison remains a genre reference, while Clevatess keeps its darker and more threatening identity.
The first season established a balance between adventure, danger and human vulnerability. Season 2 appears ready to move that balance toward alliances and character interactions. Since complete episode descriptions have not been provided, the pace and scope of this change cannot yet be measured precisely.
The sequel's appeal will depend less on the novelty of its visual setting than on the space given to the group's relationships. A setting that is genuinely explored could give more weight to the decisions of Alicia, Klen and Clevatess. If it remains decorative, the season risks weakening the tension that made the series distinctive.
The July 2026 broadcast remains lightly documented
Current communication confirms a season announced for July 2026, along with its production team and the intention to advance the story through its setting, encounters and group tensions. It does not announce a new trailer, price, edition or specific access details.
The interview does not provide enough information to judge the upcoming arc as a whole. Several episodes will be needed before the impact of the setting change can be assessed. For other in-depth features, see our gaming articles.
What the next announcements should clarify
- Will the sequel clarify its broadcast schedule by territory?
- Will the new setting give a lasting role to characters added around the trio?
- Will a new trailer detail the upcoming stakes?
