The Dragon King, a new adult animated fantasy series that builds up on the events of The Dragon Prince, has kicked off its Kickstarter campaign. With 27 days still to go, the project already gathered over two times of the original goal. The developers have also shared the first animated trailer to celebrate the occasion – you can find it above and check out how grown-up Zym and Ezran look.
“We’ve launched the Kickstarter campaign for “The Dragon King”, an all-new animated epic fantasy series that brings together the visionary creatives behind 3 incredible fandoms (The Dragon Prince, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Critical Role). Learn more about the campaign and check out all the sweet backer rewards on Kickstarter now!”
The developers describe the story as an explosive, no-holds-barred payoff to the original series. The Dragon King will serve as the third act of The Dragon Prince saga, welcoming both old-time fans and newcomers alike. Whether you’ve followed the adventures of Callum & Co or have just heard about it for the first time, you’re in for a fantasy story with high-octane, world-changing battles and god-level tiers of power.
On the cusp of vanishing into legend, the last of the Archdragons— the young Dragon King, Zym—wields his great power to forge a fragile peace in Xadia. But when a forsaken and forgotten Dragon Prince returns from the shadows of exile, Zym uncovers a truth long buried: the throne he inherited may not have been his to claim. And the true heir has come to take it back.
