Notable animation studios try their hand at gaming properties
One of gamescom’s biggest surprises during its 5th annual Opening Night Live showcase was not a game but a TV show based on games. Amazon took the time to reveal Secret Level, a series of animation shorts based on some of gaming’s biggest and most unique IP.
The show is being helmed by the folks behind Love Death + Robots, which you should ABSOLUTELY WATCH, and will focus on unique takes on gaming stories. It’ll bring different perspectives, art styles, and ideas than we’re used to, but with an anthology series that’s kind of what we really want. With games becoming Hollywood’s go-to for entertainment ideas, and some of that good will starting to wilt away — ahem bordlerlands ahem — having fresh takes that don’t overstay their welcome may just end up being what the Doctor Wily ordered.
The series will premiere on Amazon Prime on December 10th.
