Netflix revealed the staff, a teaser visual, four stills, and the September 17 debut on Wednesday for it and Sublimation's Dragon's Dogma anime series based on CAPCOM's RPG video game series of the same name. The anime will debut worldwide exclusively on Netflix.

Shin'ya Sugai (009 Re:Cyborg, Walking Meat) is directing and producing the anime at Sublimation. Netflix's Taiki Sakurai (Cannon Busters) is the executive producer. CAPCOM's Hiroyuki Kobayashi (supervisor for Devil May Cry, Sengoku Basara - Samurai Kings) and Takashi Kitahara (production committee for Rockman.EXE: Hikari to Yami no Program, production supervision for Resident Evil: Damnation) are co-producers. Kurasumi Sunayama (Yowamushi Pedal, Cardfight!! Vanguard) is writing the script. Iku Nishimura (animation director for Ghost in the Shell Arise, Eden of the East) is designing the characters.
