How to Watch Devils' Crest on Prime Video

An empty classroom at twilight overgrown with glowing violet crystals, floating blue magic circles and a giant beast silhouette in a misty forest outside the window, no people, no text, no logos

Devils' Crest starts streaming worldwide on Prime Video on Friday, November 6, 2026. The TV anime adapts Demons' Crest, the novel series by Reki Kawahara, the author of Sword Art Online and Accel World. Warner Bros. Japan announced the Prime Video premiere at Anime Expo in July.

Like Sword Art Online, the story traps its heroes inside a virtual reality game where the danger is real. This time the players are kids, and the game is spilling into their world.
