A fresh main trailer for the upcoming Monster Strike: Deadverse Reloaded anime has dropped, giving fans their first audio glimpse at the opening theme.
The reveal renews excitement as the franchise gears up for its first terrestrial TV outing.
Here’s what we now know — and why it matters for fans of Monster Strike and anime adaptations alike.
Story Synopsis
This new edition, Monster Strike: Deadverse Reloaded, reboots the anime adaptation of the popular mobile game Monster Strike.
The trailer teases high-octane sequences set to a driving new song, hinting at action and dramatic tension.
Prior anime versions of Monster Strike were released as net (online) anime or short-format works; this marks one of the most ambitious promotional pushes yet.
The franchise, developed by MIXI, first launched the mobile game in Japan in 2013 and later expanded globally. Previous anime adaptations—the Monster Strike the Animation series and multiple spin-offs—were distributed primarily online or in limited formats. With Deadverse Reloaded, MIXI shifts toward broader television exposure.
