At a press conference held by TV Tokyo, web media company GREE announced that its mobile game Seisen Cerberus will be adapted into a TV anime series. The anime, titled Seisen Cerberus: Ryuukoku no Fatalités will air on TV Tokyo from April 2016.
Seisen Cerberus, a fantasy simulation RPG game, is GREE's flagship work which began service in 2011. It is set on the continent of Qun'ahn, which is dominated by sword and magic users and whose land is divided among the kingdoms of Saint Amoria, Ishilfen, and Varondis. The anime follows 16-year-old Hiiro, who takes up a sword in order to avenge his parents' death by killing the evil dragon Danguard.
TV Tokyo is collaborating with video site iQIYI, owned by web services giant Baidu, and Hong Kong-based MediaLink to expand its anime business into the Chinese territory. TV Tokyo previously aired Tanken Driland (2012), an adaptation of another GREE mobile game. Further information about Seisen Cerberus: Ryuukoku no Fatalités will be announced at AnimeJapan 2016 at the end of March.
