Dofus' Wakfu - the TV series
Filed under: At a glance, Fantasy, Trailers, Video, Dofus, Lore, News items, Free-to-play, Races
As stated, Dofus is an MMO with an outstanding and appealing aesthetic; one that I've often wished were available to just watch, like a cartoon. Well, apparently Ankama Games and I were on the same wavelength, because sure enough, there's an animated show being produced as we speak!Wakfu - the TV series follows the adventures of Yugo, a young boy with a strong sense of justice, and his four adventurous friends, each one of them a different warrior type from the world of Dofus. Take a gander at the trailer -- it's a fantastic mix of European and Asian animation styles and perfectly captures the sometimes alien, sometimes whimsical World of Twelve. No release date has been offered, but I'm keeping all channels open for the announcement!

The animation is certainly set in the world of Dofus, though during the time of it's sequel, Wakfu!

I haven't noticed anything about it on massively yet, but Wakfu is actually the next MMORPG by Ankama Games. It looks even prettier than Dofus (scrolling environments, animated in flash but rendered using OpenGL) and will feature an interactive/autonomous ecosystem alongside the returning 12 classes from the original game.
Check out the trailer (the second half of it is in-engine), it's lookin pretty!
The animation is probably some sort of tie-in to advertise the new game. Apparently there's even a single player Nintendo DS variant in the works!
Ankama should pay me for writing this ;)
