OVERLORD: The Sacred Kingdom has continued the thrilling story from the Overlord series in the franchise’s first theatrical feature film.
Crunchyroll, the ultimate home for anime worldwide, announced the theatrical dates in the United States and Canada for the video game fantasy film OVERLORD: The Sacred Kingdom.
Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment will distribute the isekai adventure, which will be released in New Zealand cinemas on the 7th of November.
OVERLORD: The Sacred Kingdom is the first theatrical film from the fan-favourite OVERLORD franchise based on the light novels by Kugane Maruyama, continuing the series picking up after the conclusion of the fourth season.
The story follows Momonga, a regular salary man transported into his favourite video game. All four seasons of OVERLORD are now available to stream on Crunchyroll.
After twelve years of playing his favourite MMORPG game, Momonga logged in for the last time only to find himself transported into its world, playing it indefinitely. Throughout his adventures, his avatar ascends to the title of Sorcerer King Ains Ooal Gown.
Once prosperous but now on the brink of ruin, the Sacred Kingdom enjoyed years of peace after constructing an enormous wall protecting it from neighbouring invasions. But one day, this peace comes to an end when the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth arrives with an army of villainous demi-humans.
Fearing an invasion of their own lands, the neighbouring territory of the Slane Theocracy was forced to beg their enemies at the Sorcerer Kingdom for help.
Heeding the call, Momonga, now known as the Sorcerer King Ains Ooal Gown, rallies the Sorcerer Kingdom and its undead army to join the fight alongside the Sacred Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy in hopes of defeating the Demon Emperor.
Originally a web novel by Kugane Maruyama that was adapted into light novels and manga publications, the first season of the anime series debuted in 2017 and quickly became popular among fans.
All four seasons are now streaming on Crunchyroll, along with OVERLORD: The Undead King and OVERLORD: The Dark Hero, two omnibus films that serve as recaps for season one.
