The series was previously announced to debut on Crunchyroll in 2027. The panel also confirmed two cast members, Mayumi Sako and Shinya Fukumatsu, and named additional staff. Keiji Inai is composing the music, Yoshikazu Iwanami is the sound director, and Yasumasa Koyama handles sound effects. Calligrapher Gyousyou Suzuki produced the calligraphy for \"Kuroudo Kitan,\" part of the logo. The anime adapts the multiplayer mode of Sucker Punch Productions and Sony Interactive Entertainment's Ghost of Tsushima. Takanobu Mizuno directs at Kamikaze Douga, with Gen Urobuchi and Satoshi Maejima on scripts and Takashi Okazaki as character designer. HAYATE is producing, with Aniplex and Sony Music involved. Attendees saw early footage ahead of a wider release.","whyItMatters":"The date move pushes the adaptation past the window Crunchyroll first set, and the panel paired it with a first look at footage still in production, so the reveal was a status update rather than a debut.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eFour outlets carried the panel, and their staff lineups do not match. Anime News Network and GAME Watch list the screenwriter as Satoshi Maejima (GAME Watch also renders him Ken Maejima), while Real Sound Anime credits Ken Maeshima. Real Sound Anime calls the character designer Toshihisa Okazaki; the other accounts say Takashi Okazaki. Real Sound Anime also lists the music composer as Keiji Iuchi and the sound director as Miwa Iwanami, names that appear nowhere else in the cluster.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReal Sound Anime described the presented story material, which the other writeups did not. The series is set in the Bunei era of the late 13th century. Koten Khan leads the Mongol Empire\u0026#39;s army into Tsushima, the island\u0026#39;s samurai are overrun, and the Kuroudo rise from the underworld to fight back.
