Last June, Dead Cells developers Motion Twin revealed its acclaimed rogue-like action-platformer was being turned into a 10-episode animated series, and a first proper trailer has now been shared ahead of its arrival this June.
Dead Cells’ TV series is the work of Paris-based animation studio Bobbypills – the team behind Dead Cells’ animated trailers, as well as last year’s excellent Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon spinoff, Captain Laserhawk – and whisks viewers away to a cursed island ravaged by a strange plague.
“After the island’s foolish king develops a remedy that ends up turning the population into monstrous creatures,” the official announcement revealed last year, “prophecies depicting a flame-headed hero 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.”
