We previously saw a teaser visual for the Demon Lord 2099 anime, which is on the way to adapt the light novels written by Daigo Murasaki and illustrated by Kureta. Now, thanks to Kadokawa’s Fantasia Bunko Daikanshasai Online 2023 event over the weekend, we know to expect the adaptation sometime in 2024.

J.C. Staff is handling production for the Demon Lord 2099 anime, which stars Satoshi Hino as Demon Lord Veltol and Miku Ito as Machina.
Yen Press publishes the light novels in English and describes them:
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!
