Here is the first trailer for the animated series “Dead Cells”.

Dead Cells has been blessed with several excellent animated trailers, all produced by French animation studio Bobbypills. Now the nifty Metroidvania is getting a full animated television series from the same people, and the first trailer is below.

It’s in French, but you can enable English subtitles. Also, the animation style is different from the trailers.

I think I agree with everything. I like that the topic isn’t treated too seriously – because who cares about the story of Dead Cells when the game is all about the wonderful feeling of rolling, racing and exploding enemies? I like that it’s a comedy. I like that some of the gags in the trailer above are derived from the animation itself. (I suspect many Dead Cells fans will disagree with me.)

The animated series “Dead Cells” will be released on June 19th on ADN (France). This is the Animation Digital Network, an online streaming service. An English version is due out later in the year – but it’s fine, you can watch it with subtitles, don’t worry.

Dead Cells recently received its final update and DLC. Original developers Motion Twin will release roguelike Windblown later this year, while long-time custodians and spin-off studio Evil Empire will soon release licensed roguelite The Rogue Princes Of Persia.
