Secret Level's turning 15 games into animated shorts, but all we want to know is if that's actually
Published: January 01, 0001
Amid all the video game trailers at Gamescom's Opening Night Live, a surprise gem appeared out of nowhere: Secret Level, an adult animated series by the creators of Love, Death + Robots.
The was packed full of different video game characters and worlds but apparently it'll only feature 15 games, with each getting a new story for one episode. The list of games is: [[link]] Armored Core, , Crossfire, Dungeons & Dragons, Exodus, Honor of Kings, Mega Man, , Pac-Man, PlayStation, Sifu, , , Unreal Tournament, and
It's a bit of an odd list as I'm not quite sure what the through-line is, other than the need for a bit more advertising. But even with the lack of a theme, the addition [[link]] of PlayStation is an outlier, as instead of an actual game, it'll be "highlighting various PlayStation Studios beloved entities," according to a press release. I'm not sure
what qualifies as an "entity," but if that means we get an Astro animated short, I'll be happy.
I was thoroughly impressed with Love, Death + Robot's three seasons, and while there were a couple of misses most of the episodes hit. My personal favourite is still Season 1's Secret War, a short that I always thought would make for a stellar video game. So even if the list of games is an odd mix, I'm pretty confident in Blur Studio's ability to pull something great off.
The that we saw at Opening Night Live did seem pretty spectacular, and it was cool to see how each world was animated slightly differently. But the one scene that has fans frothing at the mouth only lasted for a couple of seconds and seems to be Keanu Reeves piloting an Armored Core.

It's not confirmed yet whether this is actually Reeves, and while the first few seconds of the shot doesn't really look like him, the character in question does appear to almost morph into a Reeves lookalike. Armored Core even an image that resembles Reeves more.
Unfortunately, the anthology series premiers on December 10, 2024, so we'll have to wait a bit longer to get any kind of confirmation on whether Reeves is expanding his video game portfolio to more than just or The Matrix Awakens.
