Season two of the Log Horizon series ended with the adventurers beginning to gain the trust of the people of the land after being stuck in the game for more than six months.
Akiba now follows law and order, thanks to Shiroe’s Round Table Alliance. However, they still face a threat in the forms of Minami district’s spies and fund shortage. Shiroe decides to explore the world outside Akiba with Naotsugu and Regan to discover a new way to finally get back home.
Based on how Season 2 ended, we can expect the story of Season 3 to continue with the city of Akiba facing difficult situations as a result of their financial problems.
