Hey Dead Cells fans, check this out! An animated series inspired by the game we all love is in the works and set to release in 2024.
The Bobbypills team, who make those hilarious trailers, will be producing the show alongside the French Animation Digital Network. While we’re all pumped for this, let’s face it – the game’s series of stories spread across five years can be a bit confusing.
So, it’ll be no easy task putting it into an engaging animated series. But the production team has done an excellent job so far building the game’s world and lore, so fingers crossed! The series will consist of 10 seven-minute episodes exclusively available in France before its worldwide release. We can’t wait to see how this turns out!
You grew up with the roguelikes, witnessed the rise of the roguelites and even the birth of the roguelite-lites? We’d now like to present for your consideration our RogueVania, the illegitimate child of a modern Roguelite (Rogue Legacy, Binding of Isaac, Enter the Gungeon, Spelunky, etc.) and an old-school MetroidVania (Castlevania: SotN and its ilk).
About the game
Discover the captivating world of Dead Cells, the ultimate rogue-lite action-platformer that draws inspiration from the metroidvania genre.

“Dead Cells may be the most fun I’ve had in a game all year.”
9/10 – Polygon
“[…] The game smartly dissects what’s so exciting about Metroidvanias (exploring labyrinthine levels packed with variety, unlocking new abilities that re-contextualize areas you already passed through) and reassembles those things around a compulsive roguelike core.”
Kotaku
“[…] Dead Cells is worthy of its own invention. It’s not just a roguevania – it’s a damn good roguevania.”
