The official website of the anime adaptation of Sui Ishida’s Tokyo Ghoul has revealed new visual for the second season of the anime, Tokyo Ghoul √A. The new visual itself reveals that the anime will be reaching its final conclusion shortly, with only two episodes to go.
The second season is based on a new original story written by Ishida, rather than adapting the remainder of his original manga. The series will once again be animated by Studio Pierrot (Naruto Shippuden, Bleach) and the majority of the cast and staff will return to reprise their roles. Ishida has reported on Twitter that the anime will be 12 episodes long.
Additionally, the first promotional video for the upcoming series was earlier released:

Tokyo Ghoul synopsis from Haruhichan:
The suspense horror/dark fantasy story is set in Tokyo, which is haunted by mysterious “ghouls” who are devouring humans. People are gripped by the fear of these ghouls whose identities are masked in mystery. An ordinary college student named Kaneki encounters Rize, a girl who is an avid reader like him, at the café he frequents. Little does he realize that his fate will change overnight.
Tokyo Ghoul √A currently airs every Thursday at midnight JST (effectively Friday) on Tokyo MX.
