Fans of the OVERLORD franchise can rejoice as GSC Malaysia announces the theatrical release of OVERLORD: The Sacred Kingdom, premiering on January 9, 2025. The film adapts the highly anticipated Roble Holy Kingdom arc from volumes 12 and 13 of the light novel series, marking the first time this storyline has been brought to the screen.
The Sacred Kingdom follows the journey of young squire Neia Baraja as she seeks aid from the powerful Sorcerer King, Ainz Ooal Gown, to combat a grave threat to her homeland. The Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth threatens the very existence of the Roble Holy Kingdom, setting the stage for an epic confrontation between powerful forces. GSC is offering fans an exclusive merchandise opportunity with a limited-edition OVERLORD: The Sacred Kingdom Tumbler, available for RM24 while supplies last.
For newcomers to the franchise, OVERLORD began as a web novel by Kugane Maruyama, telling the story of Momonga, a salaryman who becomes trapped in the world of the MMORPG Yggdrasil after its servers supposedly shut down. The series has since expanded into light novels, manga, and a successful anime adaptation that spans four seasons, alongside two recap films – OVERLORD: The Undead King and OVERLORD: The Dark Hero.
In addition, tickets for OVERLORD: The Sacred Kingdom are now available at GSC cinemas. Moreover, fans are encouraged to experience this new chapter in the OVERLORD saga on the big screen, where the fate of the Roble Holy Kingdom hangs in the balance.
