Here's a look at the Dead Cells animated TV series' first proper trailer

Last June, Dead Cells developers Motion Twin revealed its acclaimed rogue-like action-platformer was being turned into a 10-episode animated series, and a first proper trailer has now been shared ahead of its arrival this June.

The news original developer Motion Twin was pulling the plug on Dead Cells’ post-launch support took many by surprise given Evil Empire (which is now working on The Rogue Prince of Persia for Ubisoft) previously said it had a roadmap of new content until “at least the end of 2024”.

Dead Cells’ TV series is the work of Paris-based animation studio Bobbypills – the team behind Dead Cells’ animated trailers, as well as last year’s excellent Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon spinoff, Captain Laserhawk – and whisks viewers away to a cursed island ravaged by a strange plague.
