Crunchyroll describes the game:
After twelve years of playing his favorite MMORPG game, Momonga logs 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 Ainz Ooal Gown.
The game features over 50 characters from the anime, roguelite dungeons, bosses, minigames, and 3D visuals. There is co-op play with alliances, as well as PVP.
Crunchyroll’s North American screenings of Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom (Gekijō-ban Overlord Sei Ōkoku-hen), the new film project for the Overlord anime, will begin on November 8. Crunchyroll will screen the film in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
The film will open with regular screenings in Japan on Friday, but it had IMAX screenings beginning one week earlier on September 13.
The Overlord -Escape from Nazarick- game from Kadokawa Corporation and developer Engines launched for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam in June 2022. Series creator Kugane Maruyama oversees the story for the 2D action-adventure “Metroidvania”-style game. Players control Clementine (voiced by Aoi Yūki) in the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Clementine begins the game unarmed with amnesia, but players can regain her weapons and powers throughout the adventure. Her abilities include martial arts, magic, and parkour.
