Secret Level is an original fifteen-episode anthology series, set to premiere on December 10th of this year. Categorized as an adult animation series, each episode will be an animated standalone short, telling the story based on the most beloved video games and franchises. Secret Level is a collaboration project between Amazon Studios and the many producers and developers of the video games to be referenced. The voice actors for the upcoming show have nearly all been selected, with some being well-known celebrities.

Secret Level

Secret Level is an adult animated anthology created by Prime Studios for Prime Video and possibly other streaming platforms. It is tied into the genres of Sci-Fi, action, fantasy, and CGI. The official Secret Level trailer is on Prime Video’s YouTube channel, and several different trailers can be easily found throughout YouTube. The plots for each episode or the standalone short story, are still unknown. So far, the only clue most fans and reviewers have is that the show will be a celebration gift to the history of video games.

Putting aside the expectations of the amazing animations, possibly ranging from CGI to VFX, the voice actors chosen for the characters of each episode have many fans excited. 

The Voice Cast

There are currently sixteen chosen voice actor roles. News about the animated characters has not been revealed yet, but many fans have quickly noticed that Keanu Reeves will be one of them. His face, or one very similar to him, was shown in the trailer, revealing a glimpse of how incredibly realistic the animation will be. The other unexpected voice actors that have everyone riled up are Arnold Schwarzenegger, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Kevin Hart, and possibly Heaven Hart.

The remaining eleven voice actors whose roles are all set in stone are a cast of well-known, award-winning celebrities. The cast of actors and actresses ranges from writers, producers, directors, VFX artists, and more. They contribute to more than just voice acting.

  • Gabriel Luna
  • Merle Dandridge
  • Temuera Morrison
  • Ricky Whittle
  • Clive Standen
  • Claudia Doumit
  • Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
  • Emily Swallow
  • Ariana Greenblatt
  • Michael Beach
  • Laura Bailey
  • Aidan Bristow

Video Game References

The fifteen video games referenced in Secret Level are the topmost favorite, recently popular, and most memorable games throughout the years. Even though the trailers do say that Secret Level will include every game in existence, with fifteen episodes, that’s not enough. Reasonably, there is only a speculated list to help deduce which video games may be referenced. This ranges from fantasy, RPG, first-person shooters, battle royales, pixel graphics, 2D graphics, Sci-Fi, fighter games, and whatever else the writers can squeeze in.

Predicted Video Game Features

  • Dungeons and Dragons 
  • Honor of Kings 
  • New World: Aeternum
  • The Warhammer 40,000 franchise 
  • Armored Core 
  • Exodus 
  • The Outer Worlds 
  • Mega-Man
  • Crossfire 
  • Unreal Tournament 
  • Concord, despite the game’s recent cancellation news.
  • Sifu
  • Spelunky 
  • Pac-Man
  • Finally, various games by PlayStation will also be referenced.

This list is not set in stone. There may be more, or some may not be correct. A trusted YouTube channel called IGN released a review on the upcoming show 2 months ago, discussing every video game shown in just the trailer alone. 

Conclusion

Secret Level is an anthology animation series, made by Prime Studios to celebrate every video game there is. There will be fifteen episodes with plots not connected, each with its own animation style and stories that are not connected. The voice actors range from multi-talented actors to well-known celebrities, who all will be contributing more than just voice acting. The video games listed are only predictions for now. It is not clear which specific video games will be featured. All will be revealed when the first episode premieres on December 10th on Prime Video.
