Fresh off of its successful listing on the stock market last week, WEBTOON Entertainment is shifting focus to the forthcoming premiere of the Tower of God Season 2 anime adaptation premiering this weekend on Crunchyroll. To prepare new and returning viewers, WEBTOON is pushing The Return of the Prince and Workshop Battle arcs from the Tower of God comic created by S.I.U, as they form the basis for Season 2.
The ongoing digital comic has billions of global views across 301 episodes, with four graphic novels published by WEBTOON Unscrolled, WEBTOON’s graphic novel imprint. In addition to the anime adaptation, the series has been developed into a mobile role-playing game, collectible card game, and even more merchandise.
