Amazon has released a new trailer for , the upcoming Prime Video show that tells stories set in the worlds of beloved, popular or even upcoming games (and also Concord). Given that it’s an anthology series, there’s unlikely to be an overarching plot, so there’s not much to grok here from a narrative perspective. And the sooner there’s a mortarium on trailers being soundtracked to that overused M83 song, the better.
However, the visuals sure do look pretty. The quality of the animation is genuinely impressive. At least in some cases, the art style apes that of the game the episode is based on. That’s particularly true for what we see of the episode, but Secret Level is not, for instance, retaining Spelunky‘s aesthetic.
Other episodes are based on the likes of Armored Core, Crossfire, Dungeons & Dragons, , Honor of Kings, Mega Man, New World: Aeternum, Pac-Man, The Outer Worlds 2, Unreal Tournament and Warhammer 40,000, along with “various” PlayStation Studios games. One of those is Concord, which Sony unceremoniously after .
Some major mainstream stars have lent their voices and even likenesses to the series, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Hart, Keanu Reeves (who appears in the Armored Core episode), Ariana Greenblatt and Gabriel Luna. Video game stalwarts, including The Last of Us stars Merle Dandridge and Laura Bailey, are involved too.
Secret Level — which is from the creative team behind Netflix’s — will debut on December 10. More episodes will be released over the following week.
