A 2024 premiere date has been revealed for the Demon Lord 2099 anime adaptation. 

The anime, an adaptation of the Fantasia Bunko light novel series written by Daigo Murasaki and illustrated by Kureta, was announced in March. In September, it was revealed that J.C.STAFF was producing the show and that Satoshi Hino and Miku Itou were voicing lead characters Veltol and Machina, respectively. 

Yen Press describes the plot as:

​The cyberpunk metropolis Shinjuku—a massive city-state bedecked with neon signs, towering skyscrapers, and the latest cutting-edge technology. It is here, in year 2099 of the Fused Era, where the legendary Demon Lord Veltol has his second coming five centuries in the making. But this landscape is nothing like the one he conquered all those years ago, for the fusion of magic and engineering has elevated civilization to dazzling, unprecedented heights. Veltol may have been reduced to a historical footnote, but make no mistake…this brave new world will be his for the taking!

The Demon Lord 2099 light novel series, which began publication in 2021 and has three volumes as of June 2023, was the winner of the 33rd Fantasia Award’s Alternate Dimension category. It initially inspired a now-discontinued manga adaptation by Kiiro Akashiro. A new adaptation by Kan Sakurai started serialization on Shonen Ace Plus in March of this year.
