After the new original anime was announced on March 1, during Aniplex's live stream on March 22, the first information about Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- author Tappei Nagatsuki's original TV anime Warlords of Sigrdrifa was announced, including its July 2020 broadcast, the overall story, a new visual, and the first look at the 'Valkyries.'

The website for Warlords of Sigrdrifa was updated, revealing the overall details on the series, which is translated below:

The 'Pillar' suddenly appeared on Earth, becoming a treat to all the life on the planet. A God called 'Odin' was driven to reaching out to the human race, giving them the war maidens known as 'Valkyrie' and their 'hero wings', declaring a counterattack to the 'pillar.'

The battle between the 'pillar' and humanity has raged on for years, with the war maidens using the 'hero wings' and the human race supporting them as they battle in the skies in order to save the world.

Japan is not exempted from the war. Three 'Valkyrie' stand atop the peak of Mt. Fuji to confront the 'pillar.' Each of the 'Valkyrie' understands what they have to do, but problems face them. That when Ali's Ace Pilot arrives from Europe...

"It's time to fight back humans, today is the day of battle – Ragnarok is coming"

Alongside the story, the first images of the characters were revealed:

Claudia Braford in the Gladiator Mk. II

Miyako Muguruma in the Ki-44-II Otsu

Azuzu Komagome in the He100D-1

Sonoka Torai in the M.C.72R

The voice actors for the girls will be announced in a special presentation on Nico Nico Live titled "Valkyrie Information Bureau" on April 22 where the cast will also be performing live. The presentation is scheduled to occur monthly until the anime is broadcast in July 2020.
