Among Gamescom 2024’s more surprising announcements was Prime Video’s anthology series Secret Level, a collection of stories from some of modern gaming’s most popular titles that is set to allow viewers to dive into their respective worlds for some exciting new stories.
It is a show that has a lot of gamers excited for its release in December this year considering it comes from the makers of Love, Death & Robots, a very popular anthology series on Netflix. Prime Video’s successful run at adapting popular comic books and video games could also be a factor that ensures the show’s success at drawing in audiences who may be familiar with the many titles it has listed in addition to total newbies looking to explore the world of modern gaming.
A Secret Level for Almost Anybody to Enjoy
Bringing some of the best titles to grace screens all over the world into a single anthology could be a Herculean task for any other studio, but Blur Studio is among the few ones that could pull it off.
Its success with Netflix may have prompted Prime Video to approach it for the project, allowing it to flex its creative chops in a way that is sure to delight gamers – which is evident from the reveal trailer for Secret Level.
Building on the success of its excellent live-action adaptation of Fallout, Prime Video’s next foray into the world of gaming could very well turn out to be a success for the platform, while allowing Blur Studio to tap into a potential demographic that it may not have thought of before.
What Do Gamers Think of Secret Level?
Reactions to the trailer on channels like Reddit range from pleasantly surprised to very excited, as fans of the many franchises being touched upon offer up opinions and speculations about potential storylines and appearances from some big names from popular games over the years.
The appearance of the Space Marines from Warhammer 40K, for instance, has many players wondering if the creator of a very popular fan-made animated short has managed to secure a place in the making of Prime Video’s take on the franchise.
Other players are delighted with the 15-episode count for Secret Level’s first season even as they hope that each episode runs longer than 15 minutes – the average runtime for the episodes of Love, Death & Robots.
One player even shared the list of franchises that are appearing in Secret Level, with many popular titles finding a place in its first season.
It will certainly be interesting to see what Blur Studio can do with titles like Sifu, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, and Armored Core considering its ability to blend varying art styles with compelling narratives that put it on the map in the first place.
With Secret Level a few months away from its release, gamers around the world would hope to look back fondly at this surprise reveal at Gamescom 2024, as it continues a trend of successful gaming-based projects for Prime Video.
