As a tech enthusiast with a soft spot for video games and animated series, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming anthology series, Secret Level. With Tim Miller, the mastermind behind Deadpool and Love, Death & Robots, at the helm, this promises to be an extraordinary fusion of two worlds that have captivated me for decades.


Amazon, along with MGM Studios and Blur Studio, are collaborating on an innovative anthology series based on video games, exclusively available through Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service.

At the Gamescom Opening Night Live event in 2024, Tim Miller – co-founder of Blur Studios – unveiled their latest venture, tentatively named “Secret Level.” This is an adult-themed animated series that borrows elements from numerous video games and will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on December 10.

The teaser for Secret Level highlighted several video games that influenced the development of its fifteen narratives. Among these were:

  • Armored Core
  • Concord
  • Crossfire
  • Dungeons & Dragons
  • Exodus
  • Honor of Kings
  • Mega Man
  • New World: Aeternum
  • PAC-MAN
  • Sifu
  • Spelunky
  • The Outer Worlds
  • Unreal Tournament
  • Warhammer 40,000
  • Various PlayStation titles (including God of War)

As a researcher delving into the captivating world of Secret Level, I’ve come to understand that these intriguing tales are self-contained short stories nestled within the established universes of the games that spawned them. Known for his exceptional work on 2016’s Deadpool and the creative mind behind Netflix’s Love, Death, & Robots, Tim Miller assumes the role of Executive Producer for Secret Level. Posting a teaser image from Secret Level, the official Twitter account of Armored Core recently featured actor Keanu Reeves.

On their respective Twitter accounts, both PAC-MAN and The Outer Worlds have announced the release date for the Prime Video anthology, complete with intriguing images. The PAC-MAN Official account unveiled a sneak peek of a golden sphere shaped like PAC-MAN, mirrored to perfection. Additionally, they showcased an eerie monolith adorned with a red sun, strategically arranged to form the iconic PAC-MAN shape. Standing before it is a hooded figure holding a floating orb.

The reveal for Secret Level kicked off with a squad of space marines from the Warhammer franchise covered in bright blue bioluminescent gore before switching to a montage of doors opening, starting with a glimpse at Sifu. The camera then pans to a scene that’s recognizable as being set in Obsidian’s The Outer Worlds. Various clips of the anthology series play out, showcasing the different art styles and stories being told, before focusing briefly on a large dragon as it spreads its wings before an armored human. The trailer also provides a glimpse of a sword bridge, a shadowed look at Mega Man, and a few rapid-cut vehicle chases. The trailer ends on the line, “Come in. You have a game to play.”

Amazon has experienced significant triumph with its television adaptations on Prime Video. For instance, the Fallout series on Prime Video was viewed by over 65 million people within its first fortnight, outperforming even the adaptation of The Boys comic book series. If you want to watch Secret Level on December 10th, remember that you’ll require a subscription to Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service.
