For fans of OVERLORD, 2024 is a particularly exciting year, with the upcoming film, OVERLORD: The Sacred Kingdom, set to cover the events of volumes #12 and #13 of the novel series. The film fleshes out events within the anime’s fourth season, but Crunchyroll and A PLUS Japan have an elegant solution for viewers wishing to immerse themselves further. As confirmed by Crunchyroll, Lord of Nazarick, a brand-new mobile turn-based RPG in the OVERLORD world, is set to release for iOS and Android devices in Fall 2024 around the November 8, 2024 theatrical release of OVERLORD: The Sacred Kingdom.
OVERLORD has continuously grown more popular thanks to the isekai boom of the 2010s, and excellent work from its animating studio, Madhouse. Lord of Nazarick is a natural extension of the OVERLORD experience by taking its MMORPG setting, YGGDRASIL, and creating all-new scenarios built to take place in the series canon for fans and newcomers to enjoy. Lord of Nazarick comes from the development studio behind ONE-PUNCH MAN: WORLD, STREET FIGHTER: DUEL, and My Hero Academia: The Strongest Hero, with this latest project being the perfect fit.
