Netflix’s anime empire grows next month with the release of Dota: Dragon’s Blood, an eight-episode fantasy series based on popular Valve video-game franchise Dota 2. A first teaser dropped today along with confirmation of the series’ March release date.
Here’s what Netflix had to say about the story in a statement: “The upcoming fantasy series tells the story of Davion, a renowned Dragon Knight devoted to wiping the scourge from the face of the world. Following encounters with a powerful, ancient eldwurm as well as the noble Princess Mirana on a secret mission of her own, Davion becomes embroiled in events much larger than he could have ever imagined.”
