Setting[edit]
The series is set in Thedas, a fictional world created for BioWare's video game series Dragon Age. The story will focus on characters within the Tevinter Imperium[4] – a nation in the northern region of Thedas, which once subjugated southern Thedas during ancient times, and is governed by a powerful oligarchy of magic-wielding magisters led by an Imperial Archon.[5][6][7] The Imperium is known for its strict caste system, which includes slavery. It is also known for its mages who practice sacrificial and forbidden blood magic.[4][6][7]

Development[edit]
Production[edit]
Dragon Age: Absolution, an animated series set within BioWare's Dragon Age fictional universe, was announced at Netflix's June 2022 Geeked Week event. It was also announced that the show will be produced by BioWare and Korean animation studio Red Dog Culture House and helmed by showrunner Mairghread Scott.[8][9][10]
Release[edit]
The series is set to premiere on December 9, 2022, on Netflix.[1][2] A teaser trailer debuted during Netflix's "Geeked Week" event in June.[11] A full trailer was released in November.[12]
Reception[edit]
Pre-release[edit]
Ash Parrish, for The Verge after the release of the trailer in November 2022, commented: "but beyond the phenomenal voice actors and slick animation, I'm singularly concerned with one thing, and one thing only: how much does Dragon Age: Absolution fit in with Dragon Age: Dreadwolf?!".[13] Parrish highlighted that BioWare has done several series based on their various video game franchises, such as Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker and Dragon Age: Redemption, which feature characters who later appear in the corresponding video game series. Parrish speculated that a character from Dragon Age: Absolution could "make an appearance in Dreadwolf as either a companion or an NPC. I'm looking especially at Miriam, whose story as a former elven slave in the Tevinter Imperium fits in nicely with a quote from lead writer Patrick Weekes about Dragon Age: Dreadwolf".[13]
Sisi Jiang, for Kotaku, commented that based on Cassandra Pentaghast's appearance in the trailer, they assume that Dragon Age: Absolution occurs after the video game Dragon Age: Inquisition. Jiang stated that "BioWare has previously included spin-off content into sidequests for Inquisition, so I wouldn't be surprised if elements of the show made it into Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, the latest entry in BioWare's action-RPG series. So even if you're on the fence about watching Absolution, it might be worth it for the Dreadwolf lore crumbs".[14]
