We learned at the start of May 2020 that the app game King’s Raid: Heirs of the Will is making the leap to anime with a TV series being developed for it. The game itself launched back in 2016 with 13 million downloads over the years so it’s no surprise that there’s an attempt to build a bit more out of it. The latest update for the project comes in the form of the second promo for the series which also revealed an October 2nd, 2020 debut for it. Check it out below where it features the opening theme song within it.
The project is planned for a fall debut with a new story that’s directed by Makoto Hoshino based on the series scripts from Megumi Shimizu. Tatsuya Arai is working as the character designer and chief animation director with OLM and Sunrise Beyond handling the production.
The previously revealed cast includes the same from the game with Kaito Ishikawa as Kasel, Ai Kakuma as Frey, Ari Ozawa as Cleo, Kengo Kawanishi as Roi, Ryōta Suzuki as Rihito, Yoshino Nanjō as Lupine, Takuma Terashima as Clause, Shun Horie as Theo, Ryotaro Okiayu as Dominicus, Kentaro Ito as Marduk, Masaya Matsukaze as Kyle, Sakura Nakamura as Maria, Mitsuki Nakae as Scarlet, Mika Kanda as Demia, Emi Hirayama as Lorraine, Juri Nagatsuma as Selene, Takako Tanaka as Ophelia, Moe Toyota as Jane, Yūki Takada as Reina, and Riho Iida as Elise.

Plot Concept: The story is set in a world of sword and sorcery a century after King Kairu of Orvelia defeated the demon king Angumundo. The squire Kasel lives in these peaceful times. However, Kasel’s destiny is set in motion when he hears of the demons reappearing on his land. Guided by a great wise man, Kasel embarks on an adventure with his companions to drive back the darkness threatening his once peaceful land and become the Chosen Warrior of the Holy Sword Aea.
