The Dragon Prince: Xadia is an upcoming video game for the The Dragon Prince series currently in production by Wonderstorm, Inc. The events of the video game will be considered canon.[1] The game will be a combat-based multiplayer game, but not an MMO. No information about release dates has been made available,[2] however, it is said to be cross-platform.[1]
Players will be able to play as characters from the series. Each playable character has an array of move sets that reflect their abilities in The Dragon Prince. Viren, for example, will possess certain moves that are dark magic based, while Rayla will have certain agility based moves, and Amaya will have blocking based moves. As a result, character selection requires a bit of strategy, as character abilities are complementary and players will want to build a balanced team. Characters will all have an "ultimate" — an extremely powerful move that can only be used when it has been charged up.[2]
