Nitian Xie Shen (2023) Donghua Announcement

This new adaptation of the novel is often called Against the Gods 3D (逆天邪神3D), or simply Nitian Xie Shen (2023) to separate it from the earlier adapted work. The announcement of this new adaptation was made during the 2021 iQIYI annual event. But it took almost 2 years until we have a concrete confirmation of its release which is estimated to be either this summer or fall of 2023.

In this year’s annual conference of iQIYI, they once again confirmed and listed Against the Gods 3D as one of their 2023-2024 donghua lineup, with it having been previously listed as part of the spring or summer releases along with The Guardian Legend which was released on May 26.

Against the Gods 3D is based on a Chinese web novel by Mars Gravity (Huoxng Yinli) which began publishing in 2014 and is currently ongoing. For those who wish to read the novel, it is available on Wuxiaworld for English readers.

Animation Studio & Release Date

While we don’t have the details for the specific release date yet, Against the Gods 3D donghua adaptation is to be animated by Foch, the same studio behind popular series such as Full-Time Magister, Stellar Transformations, and Perfect World.

Energy Studio and iQIYI are also serving as producers for the series. The same team is also working as producers for other donghua such as The Demonic King Who Chases His Wife Season 3, Hero Shi is Lonely, The Guardia Legend, and another 3D donghua remake The Great Ruler.
