RIYADH-: Gamers8, the biggest esports and gaming event worldwide, hosted the exclusive launch of the official Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves movie trailer in the Middle East.
The legendary game has been adapted into an epic heist movie featuring Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez, with the trailer exclusively released in the Gamers8 Esports Broadcast at Boulevard Riyadh City in both English and Arabic on July 21.
As well as the explosive action trailer being shown to fans at the NXT LVL music venue during a break between artists last Thursday, the preview was also released on Gamers8 social media channels at the same time.
The Gamers8 launch, which happened directly after the San Diego Comic Con debut in the USA, was then amplified with an incredible, full Times Square takeover at Boulevard Riyadh City for the trailer on Saturday. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is set to premiere in March 2023.
Omar Batterjee, Head of Communications, Marketing and Partnerships at the Saudi Esports Federation, said: “Dungeons & Dragons has been a favorite among game players for decades, and being able to exclusively host the trailer for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves at Gamers8, the biggest esports and gaming event worldwide, was a privilege. In addition to that, it is also another prime example of our event – and Saudi Arabia – being recognized at the highest international levels of entertainment and innovation.
“Gamers8 has a mission to blur the lines between what’s physical and what’s virtual – and exclusively showing the trailer for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves fully reflects that purpose.”
Organized by the Saudi Esports Federation, the Gamers8 gaming and esports season runs daily throughout the summer until September 8 at a purpose-built venue at Boulevard Riyadh City.
