Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom Release Window, Plot, English Dub, And More

The adventures of the Bone Daddy himself, Ainz Ooal Gown, are set to continue later this year with the release of Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom, the first film in the Overlord series. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming movie.

The Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom Release Date

Crunchyroll has confirmed that Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom will be released theatrically on November 8, 2024. There is currently no streaming release date.

What Is the Plot of Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom?

Following the events of the last season, where Ainz Ooal Gown led a violent takeover of the Re-Estize Kingdom, Ainz and the rest of the Floor Guardians of Nazareth have set their eyes on the Roebel Sacred Kingdom. The civilization has been mentioned before and was primarily being monitored by Demiurge, the 7th Floor Guardian. Demiurge publicly assumed the role of the villainous Jaldabaoth to bolster Ains’ reputation as Momon the Dark Hero and the Sorcerer King by serving as his antagonist, despite them working together behind the scenes.

Now Demiurge’s plan for the Roebel Holy Kingdom is ready to go into effect. The movie will show the extent of Demiurge’s plans, which have him once again assume the role of Jalbabaoth and launching a massive invasion of the walled-off country.

Desperate to try to repel his forces of monsters and demi-humans, the Roebel Kingdom will be forced to find an ally who can stop Jaldabaoth. And they turn to The Sorcerer Kingdom, led by Ainz Ooal Gown, to be that ally. It’s an uneasy relationship, though given the Roebel’s hatred of demi-humans and the undead, but what choice do they have? The film will spend most of its runtime seeing how Ainz is slowly able to take over the country.

Is There an English Dub for Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom?

Crunchyroll has confirmed that there will be an English dub. The English dub will premiere in theaters alongside the English subtitled version.

Is Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom Canon?

Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom is considered canon within the series. The film is set to adapt volumes 12 and 13 of the light novel series, effectively adapting the entire Paladin of the Sacred Kingdom arc of the series.
