ALTDEUS: Beyond Chronos features some of Japan’s most remarkable anime talent, with a memorable cast of characters designed by renowned character artist LAM with both English and Japanese voice acting. Notable J-Pop singers set the tone with an all-new song by ASCA (Fate/Apocrypha, Sword Art Online, TOKYO CHRONOS) called “DESIRE.” and performances by R!N Gemie (PROMARE, Attack on Titan Season 2).
