The previously announced Dead Cells – The Animated Series by the French studio Bobbypills has received its official key art.
Additionally, a new trailer for the upcoming animated series has been confirmed for Friday, May 17, 2024.
For those who missed it, the following information was previously provided alongside a trailer:
“Made of course by Bobbypills, the French studio behind our animated trailers, the show takes place on (surprise, surprise) a cursed island that has been racked by a strange plague. After the island’s foolish king develops a remedy that ends up turning the population into monstrous creatures, prophecies depicting a flame-headed hero who will kill the crazy King begin to appear.
As it so happens, this beheaded hero is real, but saving a kingdom isn’t on his schedule and he just wants to be left alone. Well, guess who isn’t going to be left alone…
Co-produced by the also French anime streaming service Animation Digital Network (ADN), the 10, roughly seven-minute long episodes will initially be exclusive to France before being made available worldwide.”
