A Journey Shaped by Friendship, Fate and Food

Set in the world of DOFUS, Welsh & Shedar follows Welsh, a kind-hearted young cook whose peaceful life in the village of Brassica is upended by the arrival of the dragon Asalar and the hero Joris. Welsh's journey draws him into a conflict involving the powerful Queen Zabelle and her son, Shedar – and toward discoveries that could reshape his destiny.

The series brings together Ankama's French-created Krosmoz universe and Japanese animation talent. Produced in collaboration with Japan's Studio Massket, the series is animated in Japan.

“When you've spent more than twenty years building a universe, it's exciting to see what other artists find in it,” said Anthony Roux, also known as Tot, CEO of Ankama, writer and original creator of Welsh & Shedar. “Japanese animation has been part of my imagination for a long time. With Studio Massket, we had the opportunity to create something together within the Krosmoz. Welsh & Shedar carries that encounter, and I'm excited for audiences to discover this new side of our world.”

A Krosmoz Adventure that Continues Beyond the Screen

At Ankama, animation and games have always been part of the same story. With Welsh & Shedar, that connection becomes an interactive treasure hunt, linking what audiences watch on YouTube to what they play in-game. Codes hidden in episodes will unlock in-game quests, while clues scattered across multiple episodes will form a riddle for viewers to solve. Each new release offers another chance to spot clues, follow the trail and earn additional rewards and exclusive Welsh & Shedar–themed items in your favorite games. One reward from Episode 1 is Minikitt, an adorable pet to bring along on players' in-game adventures. More surprises will be revealed when the series starts airing.

Quest codes can be redeemed in DOFUS and DOFUS Retro on PC, along with DOFUS Touch on mobile.
