Overlord: Holy Kingdom Arc Movie
Hold onto your virtual reality headsets because the Overlord series is hitting the big screen once again! The anime that first graced our screens back in 2015 is continuing it's march on with a cinematic release "Overlord the Movie: Holy Kingdom Arc." a follow up to Overlord IV season (released Summer 2022). This is the third movie in Overlord series overall. The first two were recaps, summarizing Season 1 and had some extended scenes. The movie continues to adapt the light novels written by Kugane Maruyama and character design produced by so-bin. Holy Kingdom Arc will reflect the story happening in light novel volumes 12 and 13.
On January 5th, 2024, the Overlord team treated us to the first PV of the upcoming cinematic spectacle. And announced that the release will happen sometime this year - 2024. Unfortunately the exact day or even month are still to be disclosed.
The movie is animated by MADHOUSE, the same studio behind all previous adaptations, ensuring consistency in character design and animation style. The movie format might even enhance the quality, given its shorter duration compared to a full season.
The likelihood of this movie screening outside Japan is low, attributed to its lesser popularity compared to blockbusters like Demon Slayer or One Piece, along with potential rating and license constraints.
New Year's Promotional Giveaway
Alongside the movie announcement, there's a Overlord styled New Year's card giveaway on X (Twitter) platform. Users can participate by promoting the movie with the "#overlord_anime" tag. Unfortunately for anybody living outside Japan the prizes are limited to shipping within Japan... For more info go to official Overlord New Year's giveaway announcement.
Movie DVD and Blu-ray release
DVD and Blu-ray formats will be available for pre-order only after the movie's release. However, given the unclear release date, this might even extend into the next year, 2025.
