This new series is a joint production by Blur Studio and Amazon MGM Studios. While many film enthusiasts are accustomed to Amazon MGM Studios due to their contributions to Prime Video originals, Blur Studio has been instrumental in creating some of the most successful films, such as Avatar, Man of Steel, Sonic the Hedgehog, Deadpool, and numerous others.
Beyond creating these well-known video games like “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare I & II”, “Spider-Man 2”, and “Sonic the Hedgehog”, Blur Studio has also been part of both film and gaming projects. Given their versatility in both fields, it made perfect sense for them to develop “Secret Level”, a production that immerses itself deeply within the realm of video games.
What Is Secret Level About?
The unique series titled “Secret Level” is akin to the popular anthology “Love, Death & Robots,” breathing life into intricate science fiction and fantasy tales through vivid imagination. Designed as a tribute to both gaming enthusiasts and animation aficionados, this anthology will feature 15 captivating short stories, each set within the realms of iconic video game franchises such as “God of War,” “Crossfire,” “Dungeons & Dragons,” “Honor of Kings,” and “Pac-Man.”>
Each installment delves deep into the captivating lore of various video games, offering viewers a chance to explore these imaginative realms. However, it seems that the team behind the series found it challenging to choose which games would be included in this collection. During an interview with Collider, the show’s creator, Tim Miller, discussed their selection process.
Our group consistently favored a diverse selection of games, each with its unique appeal. Some were nostalgic favorites from our childhood, while others boasted massive followings due to their popularity. There were numerous factors drawing us in, so we were always open to various options. Essentially, we aimed to combine well-established titles with fresh, upcoming releases.
In addition, Tim Miller serves as the executive producer of the show, collaborating with Dave Wilson who is the supervising director. Previously, Blur Studio and Tim Miller teamed up for the hit Netflix anthology series “Love, Death & Robots,” which shares a resemblance with “Secret Level“. Consequently, viewers can anticipate that the forthcoming animated series will deliver an equally captivating experience.
