Raid: Shadow Legends released the trailer for the new animated series Raid: Call of the Arbiter, following in the footsteps of other successful video game adaptations.
Despite its initial infamous marketing strategy of sponsoring disparate influencers to promote the game, Raid: Shadow Legends has become one of the biggest mobile games on the market today.
First released as a mobile game in 2018 by Plarium Games, the product eventually became available to play on desktop and has amassed a loyal fan base ever since.
Now the freemium gacha RPG is getting animated series treatment, with a 10-episode animated series that premieres on May 18 called Raid: Call of the Arbiter.
The trailer does not provide details on what the show's narrative will entail, but the series will be about a group of heroes and centered around the Arbiter in the lands of Teleria.
The animated show is produced by Eric Rollman, former president of Marvel Television and Animation. And its showrunner, Jay Olivia, has a long career as a director on several DC animated films and has storyboarded several MCU and DCU films.

Michael Lang, CEO of Plarium's parent company Pixel United, said The Hollywood Reporterthat "there has been significant demand from players who want to know more about the story, more about the characters, more about the experience."
He also said that they weren't directly inspired by other gaming companies' recent successes with animations and adaptations of their IPs. Rather, the show's purpose is solely to expand the game's storyline and fulfill the wishes of fans, he argued.
Regardless, there's no denying just how impressive recent video game adaptations have been. As with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and Aracne, Cyberpunk 2077 and League of Legends saw significant growth in sales and player base respectively.
Similarly, the recent adaptation of The Last of Us has sparked huge interest in Naughty Dog's game.
