Netflix has released the first official trailer for its new upcoming fantasy anime series, DOTA: Dragon's Blood. The show is based on the critically acclaimed multiplayer game DOTA 2 by Valve, which is itself actually a sequel to the "DotA" (a.k.a. "Defense of the Ancients") mod that was originally created for the Blizzard game Warcraft III. A teaser trailer had been previously released, but this is the first time fans will be able to get an extended look at the eight-episode series dropping on the streaming platform later this month.

DOTA: Dragon's Blood follows the rise of a hero in a Dragon Knight known as Davion who is already dedicated to his own crusade in taking down evil. Over the course of the story, he winds up entangled in an epic clash between light and dark forces, especially once some really powerful gods get involved. The series blends high fantasy and intense action that may not be for the faint of heart; Netflix has already labeled this one of its "adult animated" shows.
