The upcoming Dead Cells animation looks a lot funnier than we expected
Last year, it was announced that animation studio Bobbypills would be adapting the hugely popular Metroidvania. Dead cells into an animated television series.
After quite a long wait, we now have the first official trailer for the upcoming film, which is officially titled Dead cells: Immortal, and it seems, quite interesting! It leans more towards humor than we expected. It’s true that we’re not really sure What we expected it, but given the game’s ties to Castevania, we probably had the latter Netflix adaptation in mind when envisioning a potential Dead Cells show.
However, based on the fact that Bobbypills worked closely with Motion Twin and Evil Empire in animating the game’s official trailers, we can be confident that the team probably knows what they’re doing. What’s with this TV series?
The 10-episode series will premiere in France via Animation Digital Network on the day June 19, 2024. An English dub and worldwide release will follow later this year, but for now, you can watch the subtitles on the trailer above and still get a feel for the story.
Meanwhile, Evil Empire recently confirmed that development on Dead Cells would cease and that the team is currently working on development The rogue prince of Persia cooperation with Ubisoft. Set for release via early access May 27, 2024The game has not yet been confirmed for Switch.
