Sei Dorei Gakuen 2 is the standalone sequel to Sei Dorei Gakuen (Holy Slave Academy). While the first game introduced the concept of an elite academy where nobles train slaves through ritualized “education,” the sequel expands the lore and deepens the psychological torment. The story takes place in a parallel, decadent society where Christianity-like doctrine coexists with overt legalized slavery.

Sei Dorei Gakuen 2 was released in Japan on 12 December 2023 for Windows, later ported to consoles with content modifications to meet platform standards.
