Dead Cells Animated Series Premieres Next Year

Dead Cells will join the list of popular video games that are getting animated adaptations. A show based upon the action roguelike is slated for release next year.

This series comes from French animation studio Bobbypills, which is also animating Netflix’s upcoming Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon-inspired Captain Laserhawk. Like the game, the plot unfolds on a cursed island consumed by a devastating plague that has warped its residents into dangerous monsters. Only a flame-headed hero of legend can set things right, even though said savior isn’t entirely thrilled with the idea. 

Dead Cells is a series of 10 episodes, each lasting seven minutes. The first 10 will be exclusively available on ADN’s French streaming service (which co-produces the show), before the rest of the world. 

Return to Castlevania is the latest major crossover extension for Dead Cells.
