“In the midst of their boundless leisure time, the gods, struck by ennui, have conceived mentally stimulating battles for amusement. The opposition? Mankind! Chosen players, dubbed ‘apostles’, are drawn onto the ethereal battlefield, aiming to best the gods in their own intricate games. A former god, Leshea, who has reawakened after millennia, demands an introduction to the finest player of the current era. Enter Fay, a celebrated rookie apostle. Leshea and Fay combine forces to challenge the gods and seek the paramount reward. However, no human has ever completed ten games; the gods are whimsical, extravagant, and occasionally, utterly baffling. Confronted by such absurdity, the apostles have little choice but to embrace the contest in its entirety.”
With this much-awaited announcement, the excitement for “Gods’ Games We Play” continues to build. Fans are keenly anticipating the outcome of these celestial games, as humanity takes on the gods in this engaging anime adaptation.
