Unless things have changed, they have a deal with a Chinese video-game company to "fully detail the Realms". (See the last paragraph before "When will we learn more".)

That doesn't change any of the costs involved, of course.

No, and I wasn't sure if they hired a contractor or a firm (looks like a firm) but that does explain where it came from.

 

[Uder]

Yeah, if that was for a D&D movie, I'd even consider seeing it at the cinema!

I heard this so many times from Warhammer diehards when the hype train was rolling for Ultramarines.

 

[Curmudjinn]

Yikes, don't watch that with kids around.

It seems that WoTC is doing more teases leading up to this release than compared to the Elemental Evil storyline, probably due to the n-Space game and Neverwinter storylines building off it. I'm enjoying it and it has made me a bit more hyped for the story line.

 

[Zaukrie]

Agreed. The increase in hype is good.

 

[Lalato]

That was actually pretty good. I give it a solid 4 of 5 stars.

Out of the Abyss is just the first part of Rage of Demons for table top, I think there are more coming for rage of demons after it.

 

[Ristamar]

Nice trailer. Looking forward Sword Coast Legends, though I'd also be into a hack-n-slash style game with this storyline.

No, I don't think there is. Rage of Demons is the overall thing which includes the adventure, video game, novels, etc. OotA is specifically the adventure in that list, just like the video games and novels have their own titles.

Disclaimer: Back in the day, I really enjoyed the Icewind Dale and Dark Elf trilogies. The last Drizzt book that I tried to read, though, was so bad that I had to quit after a handful of chapters. I'm not a huge Drizzt fan, but neither am I full of ragehate for him.

Now, all of that said, I thought Drizzt looked alright in this trailer. Further, I don't think his inclusion here is meant to overshadow the PCs in any way. He is equal part stand in for the PCs since the trailer can't magically include every D&D player's favorite character; and branding tool. In all, good stuff here.
