Extended Movie Teaser

March 1, 2012

KDAF-TV CW33 News in Dallas-Fort Worth recently ran a story on FUNimation and the production of Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker. As part of their coverage, we gave them an exclusive 30 second clip that gives viewers a first look at a Pride Demon and High Dragon from the film. You can read and watch the full news story on www.the33tv.com.

We figured we’d give our die-hard fans a bit more than just 30 seconds. How about an extended movie teaser with more dragons, more ogres, more swordplay, more blood mages, and more action? We thought you might like that. Enough talk. Watch the clip.
