This news is slightly old (better late than never), but Sony Pictures UK, in partnership with Crunchyroll, have confirmed that the animated film OVERLORD: The Sacred Kingdom will screen in UK cinemas (subbed and dubbed) from 8th November 2024. Tickets for the film have also started to become available to book online, such as ODEON, with more expected in the coming weeks.
Surprisingly this is the same release date as North America, something which was announced back in August, but until recently it was unclear if the film would be coming to the UK. As a reminder OVERLORD: The Sacred Kingdom is a continuation of the OVERLORD story line and takes place shortly after the end of the fourth season.
Synopsis: 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 Ains Ooal Gown.
Once prosperous but now on the brink of ruin, The Sacred Kingdom enjoyed years of peace after construction of an enormous wall protecting them from neighboring invasions. But, one day this comes to an end when the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth arrives with an army of villainous demi-humans.
Fearing invasion of their own lands, the neighboring territory of the Slane Theocracy is forced to beg their enemies at the Sorcerer Kingdom for help. Heeding the call, Momonga, now known as the Sorcerer King Ains Ooal Gown, rallies the Sorcerer Kingdom and its undead army to join the fight alongside the Sacred Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy in hopes to defeat the Demon Emperor.
OVERLORD: The Sacred Kingdom will be available (subbed and dubbed) in UK cinemas from 8th November 2024 with cinema listings expected to be appear in the coming weeks.
