Sora 2 came out September 30th 2025. It looks more real and gives more control than the first version. Now it adds synced dialogue and sound effects. It's very good with anime style.
Initially it's invite only and only available in the US and Canada.
Some call Sora 2 a Veo 3 alternative. It’s said to handle physics better, add stronger audio and look more lifelike.
It can make clips up to 15 seconds long.
Control is higher. It can follow detailed multi-shot prompts, keep the same world state, and move across styles like cinematic, realistic, or anime-esque.
Cameos are a new trick. You can upload a short video or audio to drop your face and voice into a scene.
Where it falls short is resolution since it only makes 720p for now.
People assume higher quality like 1080p or 4k exists, but the computing cost might make that tough for OpenAI to offer.
