Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia is a new, upcoming video game from Way Forward, Outright Games, Universal Games and Digital Platforms, and Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe. It's based on the Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia animated series created by renowned and Academy Award-winning director Guillermo Del Toro.
Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia is set to release on September 25th, 2020 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Voice actors of the original series — including Emile Hirsch as Jim Lake Jr., Charlie Saxton as Toby, Lexi Medrano as Claire, and David Bradley as Merlin — reprise their roles for the video game.
As you would expect from the name, it's based in fantasy and the supernatural. Based on brief flashes in the below announcement trailer; it appears Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia is a side-scrolling adventure game. It's said that the video game tells a brand new story that takes place between but unifies the distinct worlds of the three animated series.
