Amazon’s push into video game adaptations shows no signs of letting up. Today the company announced that Secret Level — an anthology of animated shorts all based on different video game properties — has been renewed for a second season on Prime Video. No other details about the new season have been announced yet.
Secret Level actually just premiered on Prime Video, and comes from the same team behind Netflix’s animated sci-fi anthology Love, Death and Robots. Its 15 episodes span a range of notable video game franchises, including Warhammer 40,000, Dungeons & Dragons, Mega Man, and the recently-shuttered Sony shooter Concord. It also awkwardly straddled the line between TV show and advertisement. In fact, one of Secret Level’s most infamous episodes — a bloody, dark reimagining of Pac-Man — turned out to be tied to an upcoming game.
Seriously, just look at it:
The news comes as Amazon continues to find its footing both developing and publishing video games, as well as adapting them for its streaming service. This year the company had a major hit with Fallout on Prime Video (which is also getting a second season) and followed it up with a live-action take on Yakuza. A Tomb Raider series is also in the works.
