Concord returns from the dead in Amazon’s Secret Level trailer

By
Secret Level - Official Trailer | Prime Video

A new trailer for Prime Video’s Secret Level anthology series gives us a deeper look at its interpretations of different video games. We also learned more about the star-studded cast that will appear across these episodes. It also reaffirms that an episode based on Concord will still air even though that game is now permanently delisted and its developer is shut down.

Secret Level, which was first revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live, is an anthology animated series where each episode is based around a different gaming franchise. Armored Core, Concord (yes, really), Crossfire, Dungeons & Dragons, Exodus, Honor of Kings, Mega Man, New World: Aeternum, Pac-Man, Sifu, Spelunky, The Outer Worlds, Unreal Tournament, and Warhammer 40,000 are all getting dedicated episodes, while another is a crossover of various “PlayStation Studios games.”

This trailer shows us a bit of each episode, but emphasizes the Sifu, Mega Man, Warhammer 40,000, and Dungeons & Dragons ones in particular. Concord‘s episode isn’t featured nearly as much (we only get a quick glimpse at it via a shot of space from a ship’s cockpit), but that’s certainly the most surprising part of the anthology considering the shooter’s short history.

Alongside this trailer, Prime Video also revealed the impressive celebrity cast of Secret Level. Expect to hear the voices of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Keanu Reeves, Gabriel Luna, Temuera Morrison, Kevin Hart, Heaven Hart, Laura Bailey, Ariana Greenblatt, Emily Swallow, Merle Dandridge, Ricky Whittle, Claudia Doumit, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Clive Standen, and Michael Beach as you watch Secret Level. Prime Video has not confirmed which characters each actor will specifically be voicing, although this trailer does make it obvious that Keanu Reeves will appear in the Armored Core episode, so that should be fun to piece together while watching Secret Level.

Secret Level episodes will be released on Prime Video between December 10 and December 17.

Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree is very much Bandai Namco’s Hades
Heroes fight a fire-breathing boss in Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree.

If this year’s Summer Game Fest taught me anything, it’s that Hades is all the rage right now. We saw multiple game last week that took clear inspiration from Supergiant’s hit roguelike with fast-based top-down action. The appeal is so undeniable that even Bandai Namco is jumping on the trend with Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree. Set to launch on September 19, the game puts its own spin on a popular formula with its ink painting-inspired art and colorful cast of characters.

Is that enough to set itself apart in what’s becoming a crowded field? I went hands-on with it at Summer Game Fest to find out, trying out my first 15 minute run (and a second one after an initial defeat). While it won’t fully be able to separate itself from the inevitable Hades comparisons, Towa does include some bright ideas in its two-character combat that makes battles even faster.

Multiplayer returns to the Metal Gear franchise after twelve years

After an absence of 12 years, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is bringing back multiplayer, but Konami cautions fans to expect a completely different experience than the original Metal Gear Online. Announced at Konami's Press Start Live event, the new multiplayer mode titled Fox Hunt is something like hide-and-seek on steroids, with a dash of camouflage thrown in.

According to Yu Sahara, director of the multiplayer aspect, "Fox Hunt is a completely original online multiplayer mode. Although it shares the same world with Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the gameplay is completely different." That said, he did acknowledge the nostalgia fans have for the original Metal Gear Online. "When we say Metal Gear multiplayer, many fans will probably think of Metal Gear Online, but Fox Hunt will be its own new type of mode. We very much appreciate all the long-time fans of MGO who have always wanted to see it make a comeback, but the landscape of multiplayer games has changed a lot since MGO. It took a lot of careful consideration to think about what a new online mode should look like."
