Sega held a press event on Friday for its original Nintendo DS role-playing game, "World Destruction." It is a major project, getting both a manga and anime adaptation this summer to precede the game's launch on September 18.

The game's basic story centers around a boy named Kirie who becomes part of a group trying to destroy the world. Character voices are being provided by popular seiyus such as Mamoru Miyano (as Kirie), Toru Furuya, and Maaya Sakamoto. It was also revealed that actress Yui Ichikawa and actor Hiro Mizushima are voicing minor roles in the game.

The "World Destruction" anime series starts airing on TV Tokyo on July 7. Then on July 26, the manga begins serialization in Dengeki Maoh. The three different incarnations will feature the same characters, but the stories will be different.

Music group AAA is providing music for the video game and the anime.
