Key Takeaways
- Prime Video unveils exciting trailer for “Secret Level,” an anthology series blending animation and video games.

- PS5’s doomed game Concord featured in series, reflecting its short-lived history.
Prime Video has released the official trailer for Secret Level, an upcoming new anthology series from Amazon MGM Studios and Blur Studio that infuses animation and the world of video games. The exciting final trailer offers an intriguing deep dive into the star-studded cast that will appear across its 15 stories, a mountain of hugely popular games, as well as a glance at its episode on PlayStation 5’s doomed and now delisted shooter, Concord. Announced during this year’s Gamescom Opening Night Live ceremony, Amazon Prime‘s Secret Level is created by Blur Studio, the same studio behind the incredible animated series, Love, Death & Robots, and will tell its stories over the course of 15 episodes, each one focusing on a different game adaptation.
From classic franchises like Dungeons and Dragons and the Sci-Fi action-adventure Exodus to Mega Man and Warhammer 40,000, Secret Level will star a diverse leading cast, which includes Aidan Bristow, Keanu Reeves, Ariana Greenblatt, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Laura Bailey, Kevin Hat, Michael Beach, Emily Swallow, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Clive Standen, Claudia Doumit, Temuera Morrison, and Ricky Whittle. The trailer also awkwardly showcases more recent IPs like PS5’s Concord, which was sadly pulled off shelves just two weeks after it launched.

New Secret Level Trailer Shows of PS5’s Delisted Concord
In the stunning official clip showcased on Prime Video’s YouTube, Secret Level‘s trailer shows off a sneak-peek at a bit of each of its episodes, but the main focus seems to be that of Sifu, Mega Man, Warhammer 40,000, and Dungeons & Dragons in particular. However, one rather sad and awkward teaser exhibited a Concord episode, where fans got a quick look at a shot of space from a ship’s cockpit. Although it isn’t new news that the PS5 shooter Concord will be included in a Secret Level episode somewhere, it’s a stark reminder of the game’s short-lived and tragic history.
On September 6, PlayStation shutdown Concord as the game struggled to generate interest, mostly due to how it seemed to mimic the art style of Guardians of the Galaxy, offering very little in terms of bringing anything new to the table. There’s also the issue of the game coming into an already overcrowded market, so with those two issues at hand, it ultimately saw the demise of the shooter. The brief glimpse of Concord in Secret Level‘s trailer is quite strange when paired against other clips due to the game’s studio already shutting down, but hopefully, its episode will be incredible and showcase everything that the game never managed to become.
So far, Prime Video has not officially confirmed which actor will play each of Secret Level‘s characters, but as of now, it seems as though Keanu Reeves will appear in the Armored Core episode. The animated anthology is set to air on Prime Video on December 10, and will release episodes up until December 17. If Secret Level is anything like Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots, which was one of the best animated series on TV, fans will likely be in for a treat.
