The first Hunted: The Demon’s Forge trailer has been released for Bethesda’s upcoming third-person action game.

The trailer reveals the first glimpse (albeit, very brief glimpse) of the game’s two main characters, E’lara and Caddoc (male and female, natch) while also offering a greater look at the game’s world and storyline with lots of in-game rendered shots.

Set in a dark fantasy world, Hunted: The Demon’s Forge is an unforgettable cooperative action game, pitting you and your partner against waves of vicious enemies. Taking control of either E’lara, a ranged weapon expert, or Caddoc, a master swordsman, you must use a variety of weapons, powerful spells, and cover tactics to battle your way through menacing dungeons, overgrown ruins, and downtrodden towns. Discover secrets and complete co-op-based puzzles whilst exploring the sinister world to discover answers to the game’s deep, dark mysteries.

The dark ages have become corrupted. Heinous creatures have emerged from underground. Townsfolk across the land are disappearing. Upon the promise of their fortune in gold, mercenaries E’lara and Caddoc take on the daunting task of discovering where the innocent villagers have been taken. Their journey will lead them on a dark and twisted path where they will encounter death, slavery, and sacrifice. Travel deep within the world of Kala Moor…and to the secrets of The Demon’s Forge

The game will be released on May 10, 2011 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Here is the debut trailer.
