Motion Twin, the developer behind the Indie Metroidvania-Roguelike masterpiece Dead Cells, has confirmed that there will be an animated series coming in 2024. It is being created by Bobbypills, the French studio that created all of the previous trailers for the game and all of the subsequent DLC trailers. From the studio :
The show takes place on (surprise, surprise) a cursed island that has been racked by a strange plague. After the island’s foolish king develops a remedy that ends up turning the population into monstrous creatures, prophecies depicting a flame-headed hero who will kill the crazy King begin to appear.
As it so happens, this beheaded hero is real, but saving a kingdom isn’t on his schedule and he just wants to be left alone. Well, guess who isn’t going to be left alone…
There will be ten episodes, each around seven minutes long. They initially will be available exclusively in France, and then made available worldwide sometime after. A launch date hasn’t been announced as of yet, but here’s hoping we don’t have to wait too long for it.
