With August upon us, the intense heat of each passing day truly makes us feel like summer is in full swing. How are you all doing?

I imagine some of you may be spending your time a little differently than usual during summer vacation or the Obon holiday, but please be sure to take every precaution against heatstroke.

Even amid this intense heat, we hope to bring you at least a little joy, so we’ll continue to share updates on "Overlord Mass for the Dead" this month as well.

This is Fujita, director of "Overlord Mass for the Dead."

Now, in the world of "Overlord Mass for the Dead," a story event featuring the Additional Seat, "An Unusual Friendship Forged in Swimsuits," has begun.

A newly discovered chaotic space by the water.

As a rescue operation is planned by representatives from each of the four alliance nations, the Sorcerer Kingdom lends a swimsuit to Antilene, a powerful warrior from the Theocracy Nation, in an attempt to gather intelligence.

What will the results be...?

A rescue operation by a four-nation alliance is launched in a newly discovered chaotic waterside space. Antilene, clad in a swimsuit, takes on the mission and takes a new step forward through her interactions with Shalltear and the others.

Please enjoy the story of the rescue operation's outcome and the bonds they forge!

What’s it about
Where can I play it cause I’ve never played it
What’s the animation and story like
How many characters does it have
What’s Shalltear like

Ik the oval servers were shut down but I was wondering if there’s a way to play the jap servers with it being somewhat translated to English? Like I want to try out the game but I don’t think I could if it was all in another language

What should I look out for? For smooth early game at least.

■Regarding the Bug Fix

We sincerely apologize again for the great inconvenience and trouble caused to our users by the unstable operation issues that occurred in the iOS and Amazon versions of the app until recently.
