Secret Degree continues to appear like a sizzle reel for a brand new console launch lineup, however in a great way. The Prime Video collection that includes over a dozen tales set within the fantasy and sci-fi worlds of precise video (and tabletop) video games has one final trailer earlier than its premiere, and it’s packing in loads, together with the briefest glimpse of a narrative primarily based on Sony’s not too long ago scuttled hero shooter Harmony.
Revealed final summer time, Secret Degree is from the studio that made LOVE, DEATH + ROBOTS and every of its 15 episodes is a one-off animated tackle a well-liked gaming franchise or property, from classics like Pac-Man and Dungeons & Dragons to newer indie hits like Spelunky and Sifu. Full with a star-studded solid that includes the abilities of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Keanu Reeves, and others, the present’s newest trailer whips between every one-off episode to display the complete breadth and visible number of animation powering the collection.
I don’t know if any of the tales will truly be good, however I’m excited to look at:
Buried between the Warhammer 40,000 house marines and Keanu Reeves piloting an Armored Core mech, there’s a lightning-quick flash of a ravishing blue and magenta nebula with a ship flying by it and the title card Harmony overtop. That episode would be the final gasp of an bold sci-fi universe the builders at Firewalk Studios helped to jumpstart this 12 months. Sadly, the sport itself ended up being an unprecedented flop, and Sony shut down the studio simply final month.
“I don’t really feel dangerous that it’s part of the present, as a result of I believe it’s an episode that turned out very well, and you’ll form of see the potential of this world and the characters,” Tim Miller, the lead inventive behind Secret Degree, informed Rolling Stone this week. “If it’s the remaining vestige of that product, I hope the builders really feel that it’s in a roundabout way worthy, just a bit bit, of the blood, sweat, and tears they put into it.”
He added that he personally has no thought why Harmony failed the best way it did. “There was no nicer, extra invested group of builders than the group on Harmony,” Miller stated. “I actually don’t perceive why it didn’t work. I do know that they have been making an attempt to do one of the best they may, and so they have been a proficient group of artists, so I really feel horrible for that.”
Secret Degree premieres on Amazon’s streaming service on December 10 with new episodes dropping all through that week. That is likely to be when gamers lastly catch a greater glimpse of what Harmony’s builders hoped would make it so particular.
