However, it's interesting that Nintendo didn't opt for Crunchyroll in this case, given the service's far larger library (about twice the size of Funimation), slate of original content, and dominance in subtitled anime streaming. As a large distributor of dubbed anime (when voice acting is redone in English) rather than subbed (original voice acting, with subtitles), Funimation has its place in a growing anime market.

Overlord began as a series of light novels (a style of young adult books in Japan), and was later adapted into an ongoing manga and three-season anime series.

Picross: Lord of the Nazarick will feature exactly 519 puzzles spread across the game’s various modes (Picross, Mega Picross, Color Picross, and Clip Picross). As players piece together the pixelated images of Picross puzzles, they’ll also unlock high-res images from Overlord in a gallery. Players will be able to solve picture puzzles as Ainz Ooal Gown, the protagonist of Overlord, and his nine followers as they relive memories through images. Jupiter and Nintendo’s Picross series has crossed over with other properties before (Pokémon, Sanrio, Kemono Friends), but Picross: Lord of the Nazarick will be a more elaborate tie-in. Picross: Lord of the Nazarick is coming to Nintendo Switch eShop on July 25 worldwide.
Puzzle game series Picross is getting an unusual new spinoff called Picross: Lord of the Nazarick, which is based on the manga and anime series Overlord.
