Crunchyroll announced in a new video on Wednesday that it will add an English version of the Classroom of the Elite ~Merge puzzle special exam~ mobile game to its Game Vault.
The company describes the game:
Step into the elite halls of the Advanced Nurturing High School and experience the world of Classroom of the Elite like never before. In this immersive mobile game adaptation of the hit anime series, your choices will determine who rises—and who falls.
It features full voice-acting from the Japanese cast of the anime, new storylines, no microtransactions, and relationship elements.
The game originally launched for the iOS and Android in February 2024.
The Classroom of the Elite: Year 2 (Yōkoso Jitsuryoku Shijō Shugi no Kyōshitsu e 2-nen Sei Hen) anime is currently in development.
The second and third seasons adapt the original story's complete first-year-student arc. The second season premiered in July 2022. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired under the title Classroom of the Elite II.
The third season premiered in January 2024 and aired for 13 episodes, concluding the first-year arc. Crunchyroll streamed the season as it aired in Japan.
Kadokawa published the first volume of the original light novel series in May 2015. Seven Seas is releasing the novel series and its manga adaptation in English. The Classroom of the Elite: Year 2 (Yōkoso Jitsuryoku Shijō Shugi no Kyōshitsu e 2-nen Sei Hen) light novels are a sequel to the main light novel series. The first novel volume of the new second year series debuted in Japan in January 2020 as the 15th overall book in the series (the series has three "in-between" short story anthology volumes prior to the start of the second year arc), and ended with the 29th overall volume (volume 12.5 of the second year arc) in November 2024. Seven Seas is also releasing the sequel novels in English.
