Based on the Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia animated series created by Academy Award-winning director Guillermo Del Toro; Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia is an upcoming video game developed by Way Forward in collaboration with Outright Games, Universal Games and Digital Platforms, and Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe.
It appears that Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia is a side-scrolling action-adventure game and it will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC from September 25th, 2020.
The game features characters and voice actors from the animated series including Emile Hirsch as Jim Lake Jr., Charlie Saxton as Toby, Lexi Medrano as Claire, and David Bradley as Merlin. It's said that Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia takes place between the distinct world of the animated series but is a key part of the story that unifies them.
"DreamWorks Trollhunters Defenders of Arcadia will take players on an intriguing and authentic new adventure that showcases the series' key pillars of friendship, loyalty and fantasy," said Jim Molinets, SVP of Production at Universal Games and Digital Platforms. "Expanding on the bold and creative story that has delighted fans for years, the game brings to life the vivid world of Arcadia Oaks in fun and surprising ways."
