First Look to ‘Dragon Age: Absolution’ Trailer
BioWare’s fantasy role-playing game franchise, Dragon Age, is coming to Netflix as an animated series.
Dragon Age: Absolution is a six-episode anime that’s set in the Tevinter Imperium, a nation where mages rule over people without magic. Netflix promised that it would feature an all-original cast and remain faithful to the lore. The show will be animated by the same studio behind Netflix’s The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf.
I wanted to like this so bad. But as the camera panned over incredibly generic looking buildings and characters, I grew despondent. There’s striking geometry to how BioWare designed cities in the games, and the Tevinter concept art would show its architecture as narrow and claustrophobic. If you told me that I was watching a trailer for DOTA: Dragon’s Blood, then I would have believed you. I didn’t see anything that tells me this is a Dragon Age adaptation
