Motion Twin, the developer behind the indie game Dead Cells, has announced the production of an animated series based on the game. The series, scheduled for release in 2024, will be created by the French studio Bobbypills, known for their work on Dead Cells' animated trailers. The animated series will, according to a synopsis "take place on 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."
