That’s not much to go on, admittedly, but despite being a roguelite, Dead Cells has a lot of lore to draw from. It also has a lot of memorable characters to draw from, like, uh, that one lady who dies. Or maybe that💧 guy who… Crap.

I’m going to be honest with you. I picked up Dead Cells for their Return to Castlevania DLC, and I loved the heck out of it. Once I finished with Return to Castlevania, it was my intention to continue on through the rest𝓡 of the content. I guess it was a busy time fꦦor me because I just didn’t do that. When was that? March? Oh, yeah. I did 12 reviews that month. That wasn’t a very good idea.

However, my time spent with it does leave me convinced that it could be adapted into a very watchable animated series. No word on whether or not you have to start fro♒m the beginning if you fail to watch the series from start to finish.

The Dead Cells animated series will arriv⛄e sometime in 2024. 💮The show will premiere exclusively on French network ADN, before screening worldwide.
