In a desert world where demons and humans suffer from extreme water shortages, Beelzebub, the Fiend Prince, and Rao, a small-town sheriff, form a tag team and set off on an adventure in search of a hidden water source. In December 2022, the Sand Land project was announced, where various partners have come together to bring this classic manga IP to transmedia. The project started with the co-production of an anime film by Bandai Namco Filmworks Inc.’s Sunrise Studio, Kamikazedouga Co. Ltd., and Anima Inc, followed by the official reveal of the Sand Land game in June 2023.
