Dead Cells is a game that you may not know, but it is one of the best video games of 2018. This action and platform roguelite has been progressively updated over the years, making what was originally an excellent game has become, based on updates and DLCs, one of the most important indie games of its genre. That’s why we shouldn’t be surprised by the news that the game is going to have an adaptation in the form of an animated series.
Announced for sometime in 2024, with animation studio Bobbypills handling it, this will be a work produced by the original game’s own studio, Motion Twin, and co-produced by Animation Digital Network. With ten episodes of seven minutes each, the story will take place on a cursed island, once a prison, where the protagonist, a man with a head that is a flaming eye, will have to kill El Rey to end the curse.
While it will initially be released exclusively in France, it will later have a world premiere. As big fans of Dead Cells that we are, we can’t wait to see what comes out of this adaptation. And in the meantime, we can enjoy their latest DLC, Return to Castlevania, where they introduce multiple elements of the Castlevania franchise into the game. Because if Dead Cells is something, it is inexhaustible. Something that is also demonstrated by the fact that it has sold ten million copies in these five years, has been ported to all current consoles and mobile devices, and also, they are not going to leave us hanging soon: they have confirmed that they plan to continue developing content for the game, at least, for another two or three years. Something that, if the animated series works, we are not surprised that it will end up becoming more years than we can imagine.
