Crunchyroll surprises with video game announcement
When the anime based on the light novel hit Goblin Slayer was released on Wakanim in 2018, there was a lot of screaming on the net. Already in the first episode women were violated and children killed. The rough series also caused some discussions on social media in the weeks that followed.
Ultimately, however, the anime was a complete success, whereupon a cinema film (Goblin Slayer – The Movie: Goblin’s Crown) was produced, which was released in 2020 and was also shown in Germany as part of the Anime Nights.

And how violent will the game get? The release on the Switch certainly makes many fans skepticalas Nintendo still maintains a family-friendly image and the dark world of Goblin Slayer doesn’t quite suit the console.
But one thing makes for general satisfaction: Luckily it’s not a mobile game.
