Re: Zero fans were upset after the highly anticipated season 2 was delayed back to Summer 2020 due to Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. But it looks Re: zero is gearing up with a new project in the form of mobile game.
The official twitter account to Re: Zero Starting Life in Another World revealed on Monday that a Re: Zero Smartphone Mobile game is in development. Currently the game is titled Re: Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu. The Re: Zero mobile game is set to release in 2020 for Android and IOS users.

Players will play as Subaru in the game, and follow the events of the anime. Also players can also make a different choice at “that time,” leading to a different “what-if” storyline. Also the game offers an original story penned by light novel author Tappei Nagatsuki who is supervising the game project.
White Fox will provide the opening theme animation. Main series storyboard artist Kenichi Kawamura is directing and providing storyboards for the animation. The official website also shared some screenshots from the game.
About Re: Zero Starting Life in Another World
Re: Zero Starting Life in Another World is a popular isekai light novel series written by Tappei Nagatsuki with illustrations provided by Shinichirou Otsuka. Media Factory is publishing the novels with currently 17 volumes in circulation. Yen Press is publishing the series in English.
Re: Zero inspired a 25- episode Tv anime by White Fox in 2016. White Fox also produced two OVA titled Hyōketsu no Kizuna, Memory Snow. The Tv anime was voted 3rd most favorite Isekai anime. The show also was ranked 4th most favorite anime all time in a Japanese survey.
Season 2 will premiere in July 2020.
The show centers around Subaru Natsuki who was just trying to get to the convenience store but wound up summoned to another world. He encounters the usual things–life-threatening situations, silver haired beauties, cat fairies–you know, normal stuff. All that would be bad enough, but he’s also gained the most inconvenient magical ability of all–time travel, but he’s got to die to use it. How do you repay someone who saved your life when all you can do is die?
