A teaser trailer was released to accompany the announcement, which you can view at the bot tom of this message. In addition, the above footage from the series was presented and the English voice actors were also confirmed. The latter are:
- Kimberly Brooks if MIRIAM – The pragmatic elf mercenary Miriam, who escaped enslavement in Tevinter, seems aloof to many who know her. But her heroic character shines through as she must confront the nation that destroyed her life – and the man who is the cause of her suffering.
- Matt Mercer if FAIRBANKS – A former freedom fighter, Fairbanks guides our heroes with a warm sense of adventure, a pair of daggers, and his impish smile.
- Ashly Burch if QWYDION – Qwydion is a feisty Qunari mage with a penchant for explosions. She is open-hearted, somewhat absent-minded and a real chatterbox. When the situation calls for it, she tears down buildings. But she also knows the best home remedies for morning hangovers.
- Sumalee Montano if HIRA – An idealistic mage, Hira hopes to rekindle her relationship with Miriam and further her relentless crusade against Tevinter. But a terrible secret puts them both in danger.
- Phil Lamar if ROLAND – Despite his easy demeanor, the charming Roland is also characterized by incomparable determination. As disaster approaches and all seems lost, Roland is as sure as the blade he wields.
- Keston John if LACKLON – Lacklon is a dwarven master of destiny, a fierce fighter and hot-tempered brawler just cowardly enough to ensure his survival.
- Josh Keaton if PRAYER – Raised from a privileged background and stricken by tragedy, Rezaren sees himself as a good man in a wicked world. Rezaren is intelligent, charismatic, and determined to create a better future for everyone in Tevinter, no matter what the cost.
- Zehra Fazal if TASSIA – Tassia is dutiful and hardworking. She turns a blind eye to everything that does not meet her moral standards. But even she won’t be able to ignore the sins of Tevinter (or Rezaren) forever.
