With Kadokawa as the producer and Madhouse animating the film, Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom will be released in Fall 2024 in Japan. The first trailer just dropped, and it looks amazing.

The third Overlord movie will focus on the titular Sacred Kingdom. It is a secluded nation that surrounded itself by a massive wall to stay away from wars after a tragic historical event. However, when a powerful demon named Jaldabaoth targets the kingdom with his massive army, the leader of the Sacred Kingdom asks for help from Momonga aka Ainz Ooal Gown, the undead king of the Nation of Darkness.

The official release date and the details of the full cast members are yet to be revealed. However, Hino Satoshi and Yumi Hara are confirmed to return to give voice to Momonga and Albedo respectively.
