Netflix has revealed the release date and trailer for Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans, the final chapter in Guillermo del Toro's extraordinary animated saga.
Earlier this fall, I had a chance to sit down with Trollhunters actor extraordinaire Charlie Saxton to play a little bit of the side-scrolling action platformer Trollhunters Defenders of Arcadia. More recently, I got my hands on the final build of the game for the Nintendo Switch, the only current-gen system that offers a handheld option on which to play your favorite games. And it's a great way to experience the game, a modern title that features gorgeous artwork from the contemporary Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia series while also feeling like a classic throwback to OG side-…

And now, Wizards, the final series, is about to launch. (You can read our review here.) So we were …
Today marks the release of the third and final series in the Netflix “Tales of Arcadia” anthology, but the story is far from over. DreamWorks Animation’s Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia launched in 2016 as the creation of Guillermo del Toro, and the CG-animated story of a young boy who discovers a secret realm inhabited by trolls.

When Trollhunters debuted back in 2016 on Netflix, the DreamWorks Television Animation project was a weird and wonderful surprise.
