Pixel United and Plarium have just announced an upcoming animated series for their insanely popular mobile game, RAID: Shadow Legends. The short series has been titled RAID: Call of the Arbiter, which was showcased at the South by Southwest Conference and Festivals currently ongoing in Austin, Texas.
RAID: Call of the Arbiter will be released on May 18th, on YouTube. A teaser for the series has been embedded below. Over a few weeks, ten five-minute episodes will be released on a weekly basis. The show delves into RAID’s core set of characters, with storylines deepening their narrative with cinematic-quality animation.
Call of the Arbiter will take place in Teleria, a world that seems to have been ignored by its gods. As a result, it is plagued by factions engaged in an endless war with each other. At the centre of the story is an ancient guardian called Arbiter, straight from RAID: Shadow Legends. She is on a path to return to her world and will rally together a group of uncanny heroes on this journey.
The game has been created with a massive team of over 400 artists, including people from the original game. Pixel United has also roped in notable personalities to spearhead the series. The CEO of Rollman Entertainment and former President of Marvel Television and Animation, Eric Rollman has been appointed as the producer, while Jay Oliva will be the showrunner.
Oliva is currently the founder and CEO of Lex+Otis and has been part of famous projects in the DC universe like The Dark Knight Returns, Young Justice, and Man of Steel. Animation is being handled by TeamTO and the soundtrack will be created by BAFTA award winner, Jesper Kyd.
