Secret Level Renewed for Season 2

Christmas is coming early for fans of Secret Level, the gaming anthology on Prime Video from Blur, the team behind Love, Death, and Robots. Prime Video has announced that there will be a second season or second anthology for Secret Level.

According to Variety, Secret Level was the most watched animated series debut for Prime Video. Exact figures weren’t revealed, but Variety speculates that approximately 1.4 million people tuned in during the first week.

Now that the dust has settled, some of the inclusions make a little more sense including Pac-Man and it dark and twisted episode. At The Game Awards, Secret Labrrintyh was revealed, which was close in line with the Secret Level episode. There was also the reveal of Re/Match, the new game from Sloclap, the studio behind Sifu.

Season 1 of Secret Level featured 15 episodes that accumulated to over three hours of runtime with the average episode being around 13 minutes (I calculated this). The episodes at the longer end of the spectrum were around 20 minutes of those episodes felt satisfying with a complete arc. As expected some of the episodes on the shorter end of the spectrum were around 7 minutes when you removed the intro and end credits, which wasn’t long enough. My only critcimcs for Season 2 was that some of the episodes needed to be a little longer and there needs to be more variety in the art style reflective of the source material like Sifu and Spelunky. It also could’ve benefitted from a little more cohesion between episodes

As for when we might get the second anthology of Secret Level, there are two items to look at. To begin with, when revealed at Gamescom, Tim Miller, who is the series creator said that Secret Level had been in development for over three years, which would mean 2027. Furthermore, the studio created Love, Death and Robots, which is a very similar blueprint. The first series released in 2019 and the second series a little over two years later.

In addition, as for what we could hope to see, people have already commented on our Secret Level videos that they would love to see Metal Gear Solid, Psychonauts, Titanfall, Dredge, Starcraft, Metroid, Dark Souls, Halo, Helldivers, Undertale and many others.
