Prime-Serie "Secret Level": Love, Death & Videogames

The makers of the Netflix series "Love, Death & Robots" are filming several video games in a new anthology series. The short films on game brands such as "God of War", "Pac-Man" and "Unreal Tournament" will be bundled under the name "Secret Level" and shown on Amazon's streaming service Prime Video at the end of the year.

Each of the 15 episodes will tell a different story from a popular game brand, including as yet unreleased titles. The series was announced by Tim Miller, the showrunner of 'Love, Death & Robots', in an emotional appearance at the Gamescom opening show. The topic is very close to his heart, said Miller.

Colorful mix of themes

The mix of different genres that the makers of "Love, Death & Robots" have captured with this selection is striking. In addition to blockbuster brands from Playstation, the list also includes classics such as "Pac-Man" or "Unreal Tournament" and indie gems such as "Spelunky". There is also the potential to address a wide range of themes – from hard sci-fi in "Warhammer 40k" to light-hearted fantasy stories in "Dungeons & Dragons". However, the format is generally aimed at adults.

Amazon was not entirely selfless in its choice of brands: the MMO role-playing game "New World: Aeternum" is also an Amazon brand among the video games being filmed.

The CGI studio Blur Studio, which animated both highly acclaimed seasons of "Love, Death & Robot", is working with Amazon's MGM Studios on the production. The anthology series "Secret Level" will be available to watch on Prime Video from December 15.
