During Machi Asobi, the upcoming anime’s new PV has been revealed and it previews the story behind Chaos Dragon.

According to the video, the small country of Nil Kamui has been attacked by the country known as Kouran, and their supposed ally, Donatia, did not even give them aid. The video announced that the story will be set on the year 3015 when the country of Nil Kamui is no more and the two counties, Kouran and Donatia, have become super powers which are engaged in a cold war of sorts.

Silverlink./Conmect will be animating this massive project with Meganebu! animation director, Masato Matsune at the helm of this project as the director. Ukyou Kodachi (Boruto: Naruto the Movie) will be in-charge of the screenplay. Kodachi is also the co-creator of the Red Dragon game which this anime is based on, along with Sanda, who we mentioned earlier, and Kiyomune Miwa, who has worked on Fate/ Stay Night and Valvrave the Liberator.

The actual table-top RPG game which the anime is based on will also be released along with an upcoming smartphone game.
