Some staff members from season one are returning to work on season two. Masayuki Sakoi is directing the second season, with Yosuke Kuroda as series screenwriter and scriptwriter and Yoshio Kozakai as character designer. Studio 3Hz was credited for the animation production, although it was announced in June that the studio had transferred its planning and production business to A-1 Pictures.

The anime is based on the light novel series written by Kino’s Journey author Keiichi Sigsawa and illustrated by Kouhaku Kuroboshi. The series, which is published under ASCII Media Works’s Dengeki Bunko label, was launched on December 10, 2014 and has released 13 volumes as of March 2023, with a 14th volume set for release on October 10, 2024. A manga adaptation illustrated by Tadachi Tamori was also released in 2015. Yen Press releases both the light novels and manga in English.

Crunchyroll will stream the second season of Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online, describing the first season of the spin-off series as:

In the world of guns and steel that is Gun Gale Online, LLENN has been a devoted, female solo player. She is obsessed with two things: donning herself entirely in pink and honing her skills with consistent game play. She soon discovers her love for hunting other players (a.k.a. PK), soon to be known as the “Pink Devil.” Meanwhile, LLENN meets a beautiful yet mysterious player, Pitohui, and the two click right away. Doing as she is told by Pitohui, she enters the Squad Jam group battle.
