RAID: Call of the Arbiter new trailer reveals a deeper look into the widely anticipated limited animated series
Building on the Success of Early Trailers, A New Official Story Trailer Drops Today Ahead of Series Premiere May 18
TEL AVIV, Israel, May 11, 2023 – Plarium, a global leader in developing F2P mobile and PC games, today has released the official trailer for its upcoming limited animated series RAID: Call of the Arbiter. The 60-second trailer reveals a deeper look into key characters and the mystical world of Teleria ahead of the series premiere on YouTube on May 18, 2023. The series was a global effort involving over 400 people from across Pixel United, the Top 5 global mobile-first publisher, and will include 10 five-minutes-long episodes released weekly through July 20.
Based on the popular mobile and PC RPG game RAID: Shadow Legends, the storyline will follow some of the game's most beloved characters, as well as introduce new faces. The Plarium team has also carefully constructed auxiliary bonus content to invite viewers to explore the backstories. This is the next step in building the mobile game IP into a robust fantasy universe and follows the recent release of over 70 new backstories in the game. A weekly "Discover the Lore" series has been produced to offer viewers a deeper understanding of the characters and plotlines, which will be released two days after each episode.
"We're excited to release RAID: Call of the Arbiter next week and share how we've turned the RAID video game IP into an entire world ripe for exploration," said Nicholas Day, Vice President Creative, Plarium and Executive Producer. "The Plarium team in collaboration with our external production partners Rollman Entertainment, Lex + Otis, and TeamTO have worked tirelessly for the past three years to bring this project to life and we thank them." In addition to Day, Gary Rosenfeld, Head of Business Development North America at Pixel United is Executive Producer of the animated series.
"Developing the RAID: Call of the Arbiter limited animated series is a big step for one of Plarium's most successful franchises and we're looking forward to the long-term value it will bring," said Schraga Mor, CEO, Plarium.
Over 1 million gamers who play RAID: Shadow Legends daily will be offered a fully immersed experience with an in-game episode viewer, released today, to watch the series while they play, as well as a full schedule of RAID: Call of the Arbiter inspired events and promotions, including a "code chase" challenge where fans can decipher hidden codes in each episode for additional in-game rewards.
