From Red Dog Culture House studio and BioWare, the premiere trailer introduces us to Miriam (Kimberly Brooks), an elven mercenary who was once enslaved as she rises to become a hero.

Check out the action-packed trailer below.
The official synopsis for Dragon Age: Absolution reads, “When a heist against the most powerful man in Tevinter goes south, an elven mercenary named Miriam (Kimberly Brooks) is forced into a desperate fight for survival.
