Dragon's Dogma Netflix series gets first full trailer By Luke Albigés, 25 Aug 2020 FollowtopicsDragon's Dogma: Dark ArisenCapcom EntertainmentLocal MultiplayerAction-RPGLuke Albigés Netflix has dropped a full trailer for its upcoming Dragon's Dogma animated series, and it looks... well, it looks a lot like this.Fans of the Capcom game will be quick to note that the first obvious difference between game and show (aside from the origin story being slightly altered) is that the titular dragon has been given a significant vocal makeover. In place of David Lodge's wonderfully well-spoken turn as the mighty beast, we get a distorted, super-low 'generic evil dude' tone, which is a bit of a shame. Also, can it even call itself Dragon's Dogma if every third line of dialogue isn't "Tis weak to fire!" and the only thing you ever hear in town is shouts of "Masterworks all, you can't go wrong!" from the smithy?Like the game, the new Netflix series follows a young hero who has his heart stolen by a dragon (as you do), but who miraculously survives as an 'Arisen' and must overcome all manner of trials to reach the beast's lair and slay it to retrieve the apparently-not-so-essential internal organ and avenge his family. What kinds of trials, you ask? Well, the latter half of the trailer is packed with them, showing off all kinds of fantasy beasts that appeared in the game — we see a hydra, a griffin, cyclopes, and all manner of smaller beasts (which may or may not hunt in packs, if only somebody would tell us), all presented in a very similar art style to their game counterparts. Our hero is even accompanied by a Pawn, so it's clear they're sticking much closer to the source material than, say, the Castlevania Netflix series. Which, as it happens, is very good, so hopefully this is up to the same kind of standard.The CG animation probably won't be to everyone's tastes and it can look a little off in the quieter moments, but it does allow for some awesome sweeping combat shots. Since that's sort of the focus of the game, with the silly narrative taking the back seat, we're hoping the show follows a similar format and ends up just being a boss rush peppered with plot. Also, if they haven't licensed Into Free by B'z (the game's banger of an opening theme) for the credits, we riot.Dragon's Dogma arrives on Netflix on September 17th. Like the trailer?
