I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
There were many announcements at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live showcase on Tuesday, but there was one that almost everyone agreed looked especially amazing. And it’s not even a game. Rather, that’s Amazon Prime Video’s new Secret Level anthology series, where each episode tells a story set in a specific game universe, including both new titles and some of the most classic series of all time.
“Secret Level weaves a tapestry of iconic games across multiple mediums, to tell a series of unique and captivating stories,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios. “Created and led by Tim Miller, Blur Studio, and Supervising Director Dave Wilson, each episode will take our global Prime Video customers on a brand new journey with breathtaking animation and imaginative storytelling.
It's certainly an interesting pickup for Amazon, and my gut feeling is that this will end up being received quite well. Granted, like Love Death and Robots there will likely be good and bad episodes, but when they’re good, they’regood, and I think it will help that gamers have direct connections to these series and characters.
We do in fact have a release date for the show, which will make it out this year on December 10, 2024. I’m very much looking forward to it, and even without seeing it, I’d love to see another 15, 30 games get this treatment in the future.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
