At Eagle Jump, Aoba is placed into a team of six, which includes the lead character designer for the original Fairies Story game, Kou Yagami. Getting mentored by her role model, Aoba strives to become a better character designer and learn the ropes of the video game industry. New Game! revolves around the buoyant lives of Aoba and her team members. Together, the girls put their sweat and tears into the production of the new upcoming video game, Fairies Story 3—the third installment of the Fairies Story series.

| damn, well looks like the possibly of another season is practically out of the window; guess I’ll have to check out the ending to see if anything major happened |
 |
| damn it's been 8 years. Non Non Biyori, now New Game. Would've been nice to have an OVA bundled with the last vol or somethin |

| Someday I'll read this manga now that it's completed. |
 |
| Sadge, well tbf it kinda felt like it was heading in that direction based on the last volume |
  |
| I had already forgotten about this manga. I never thought that the hype of manga is so heavily influenced by anime. |
 |
| Oh man, I was hoping for a third season. But well, congratulations to the creators! Hoping to get around to it someday. |

| This is one of the best CGDCT anime I have ever seen and I still fondly remember those cute character designs. Pity, that 2nd season was a downgrade, but still I was hoping for 3rd season. |

You can still sell merch based off an adaptation of a finished work. |

You can still sell merch based off an adaptation of a finished work. Studio Gokumi is finishing Kiniro Mosaic and Silver Link finished Non Non Biyori so I think it's more an issue with Doga Kobo. Others like Food Wars, Quintessential Quintuplets, Devil is a Part Timer, Strike the Blood and Konosuba have also shown that it is changing somewhat. It's kinda weird how often SoL anime change studios (Yuru Yuri, Is This A Rabbit?, Isekai Shokudou) but I'm guessing it would be finished by someone else. Kadokawa, the producer for the New Game anime, would probably make a season 3 depending on the sales like with Konosuba. It also shares producers with NNB and Kiniro Mosaic (Media Factory and Kadokawa), and all three shows have gotten a fair amount of sponsorships and merch, so if New Game's merch sells as well as the others I don't think a third season is impossible. |

You got me thinking that, compared to all these shows, New Game has never been an over-the-top cash cow. Although in my subjective sense, at least the first season was much more fun than even Gochiusa, which I highly respect and consider an exemplary Kirara's SoL. |

| Amazing run, one of the best cgdct manga/anime, will miss it, but the future of the mangaka is bright, already a master of the genre ! |
| 3 season when? I wait for that. |
| I wish my local library had this series. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| It was a good run. Hope we get another anime. |
