An anime film adaptation of Gods’ Game We Play was announced in January 2022. It will adapt a light novel series written by Kei Sazane and illustrated by Toiro Tomose. The series began as a web novel published on the Kakuyomu website in 2020, before being taken over by Media Factory in January 2021 and published under the MF Bunko J label.
Yen Press licensed the novel in English. The first episode is scheduled to release this November and the plot is described as: When the gods get bored, they decide to spice up their eternal existence by challenging all both participants in a final battle of wits! Of course, these gods are sometimes capricious, unfair and confusing, so victory is almost impossible for a mortal. Things are sure to get interesting though when a former goddess and a genius human boy team up to win the game and end all games!
