Developer Gemdrops and publisher Broccoli have announced a new game based on Roman Kitayama’s Etrange Overlord novel series.
Shinichirō Ōtsuka, known for his work on Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-, is the character designer. The theme song “Etrange Overlord” is performed by VTuber Tsunomaki Watame from hololive, with music composed by Elements Garden‘s Noriyasu Agematsu.
The game will be showcased at this year’s Tokyo Game Show from September 26-29, featuring a demo, a promotional video, and a preview of the theme song.
Kitayama debuted the Etrange Overlord: Hansei Shinai Akuyaku Reijо̄, Jigoku ni Ochite Kareinaru Happy Life Musо̄ web novel on Shōsetsuka ni Narō and Kakuyomu in February 2023. The story follows Etrange, a villainess who was executed, only to wake up and find herself in hell, where she begins to enjoy her new life.
A manga adaptation by Hekaton is currently serialized in Kadokawa‘s Dengeki Maoh, with the first compiled book volume set to be released on September 27.
