Although it seems that we will still have to wait for the fifth season of ‘Overlord’, its most recent film has practically just premiered in Japan. ‘Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom‘ arrived in Japanese cinemas in September, and Select Vision has officially confirmed that it will be in charge of distributing it in our country.
Wait, but not too long
We are increasingly having more luck with anime films, especially franchise ones, which arrive with less waiting time compared to their release in Japan. AND for ‘Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom’ we will still have to wait a few more monthsbut Selecta Visión has already confirmed that it will hit theaters in Spain on January 10, 2025.
There are still many details to be confirmed, but taking into account the distributor, it is very possible that it will arrive in both the original version and with Spanish dubbing. The four seasons of the anime of ‘Overlord‘are available in AnimeBoxso it is also possible that the film will arrive on the platform at some point.
The anime of ‘Overlord‘ has previously had two films: ‘The Undead King’ and ‘The Dark Warrior’, but they were compilations and can be skipped if we follow the anime series. However, ‘Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom’ takes place after the events of the fourth season of the series and is based on volumes 12 and 13 of Kugane Maruyama’s light novels, so it seems that it will have relevance to the main plot.
Although in principle Selecta Visión will be in charge of the premiere in Spain, in the rest of the world Crunchyroll will be in charge of its distribution, including territories in Latin America, Europe and Africa.
‘Overlord‘ is an isekai anime focused on an online video game called YGGDRASIL, which was once very popular but is now on the verge of closure. But when it ends its service, the players are not disconnected from the service, but the non-player characters take on a life of their own.
