Dragon Age: Absolution is a new animated series coming to Netflix

This December

Videogame publishers look at animated series like I look at air fryers: everyone else seems to have one, so I want one too. I assume that’s why BioWare are working with Netflix to produceDragon Age: Absolution, a new animated series coming this December.

Here’s the trailer:

There’s not much information about the series, other than a short synopsis:

That’s it. It is, apparently, a “new saga” and not directly based on any of the existing games or Dragon Age stories.

At this point, I feel like all these fantasy not-quite-anime Netflix shows are beginning to blur together. If you showed me stills of the trailer above and told me it was from the Netflix Dota series, I’d believe you. The only exception is Arcane, based on League Of Legends, which is a cut above in style and animation and writing.

This trailer was shown during Netflix Geeked Week, a broadcast (still live nowrunning as part of Summer Game Fest/not-E3/Geoff Keigh-3.
