All the video games featured in Secret Level, Prime Video's new animated anthology series
By Daniel Roman
Next week, Prime Video will premiere its new animated series Secret Level, and if you're a gamer, you probably have good reason to be excited about it. Secret Level is unique as television shows go in that it's an anthology series with 15 standalone episodes that each take place in the worlds of some of the most famous video games of all time. Even more exciting, it's produced by the same creative team who made Netflix's acclaimed animated series Love, Death + Robots. So you can bet this show isn't just going to be some cheap IP cash grab, but something special.
You may be wondering which games we'll see in Secret Level. Let's break down all 15 games which will feature in the show.
Every game featuring in Secret Level
Thanks to Deadline, we know already know all of the games which will appear in Secret Level, with one small caveat we'll discuss momentarily. Here's the full list:
- Armored Core
- Concord
- Crossfire
- Dungeons & Dragons
- Exodus
- Honor of Kings
- Mega Man
- New World: Aeternum
- PAC-MAN
- PlayStation (Highlighting various PlayStation Studios beloved entities)
- Sifu
- Spelunky
- The Outer Worlds
- Unreal Tournament
- Warhammer 40,000
As you can see, most of these are fairly straightforward. The one episode that's a bit of an open question is the "PlayStation" one, which will pull in characters from across Sony's PlayStation history. That's fairly open-ended; Kratos from God of War, Lara Croft from Tomb Raider, Crash Bandicoot from Crash Bandicoot, and a bunch of the Final Fantasy games were all exclusive to the PlayStation. That gives the episode a fairly large canvas to work with, depending on the rights situations for specific characters. We'll just have to watch and see!
When does Secret Level release new episodes?
Secret Level premieres in two parts on Prime Video. The first drops on December 10 with part two following on December 17. The exact number of episodes in each release isn't yet confirmed, but since there are 15 episodes total, we can assume that one of those drops will include more episodes than the other. “The main reason, for a variety of reasons, is I like the idea of the show building a little momentum," creator Tim Miller told Collider at this year's New York Comic Con. "Hopefully, there's word of mouth, and people can come back."
