On Saturday, October 3, 2026, Kadokawa revealed the second key visual and second teaser for Sentenced to Be a Hero: Game of the GODDESS (Yūsha-kei ni Shosu -Game of the GODDESS-). Sentenced to Be a Hero is a mobile game for Android and iOS, developed by VIC GAME STUDIOS and published by Kadokawa. The original scenario is supervised by light novel author Rocket Shokai.
The announcement did not include a release date. What changed from the earlier stage of the project is the visual and cast package: besides the teaser, Kadokawa introduced original game characters outside the anime cast already known.
Who returns and who debuts
Returning anime cast includes Yōhei Azakami as Xylo Forbartz, Mayu Iizuka as Teoritta, Shizuka Ishigami as Patausche Kivia and Shun Horie as Dotta Luzulas.
Among the original Sentenced to Be a Hero characters, Miyu Tomita voices Noi Marjella and Fūka Izumi voices Lisabella. Anime News Network notes that the English romanization of these names is not yet officially confirmed.
Poll and what is still open
The same Saturday, Kadokawa opened an anime character popularity poll from October 3 to November 3, 2026, to mark the second-season announcement. Results are due in March 2027. The second season itself had already been confirmed; the new item in this round is the vote, not the existence of the season.
The light novel began on Kakuyomu in October 2020 and reached print in September 2021, with illustrations by Mephisto. The anime premiered on January 3, with a 60-minute first episode, and had a same-day English dub on Crunchyroll. None of that resets the game: platform, studio and mobile premiere date remain as stated, and the date is still open.
