Is Prime Video becoming a reference in geek culture? Building on the success of Fallout and while a series Warhammer is in preparation, the American company formalizes the start of a new vintage of its anthology Secret Level. Now that the film industry seems to have understood how to exploit legendary video game universes, the animated proposition was quick to find its audience. According to Prime Video, Secret Level is the best launch for an animated series within its offer.
During its first week of availability, the creation of the director of Deadpool stood out among the most viewed productions. Although the company does not specify the number of users who launched the program, it was a success. According to Luminate metrics, the series was watched for more than 155.3 million minutes in the United States during its first week. Compared to the total duration of the program, we thus estimate that 1.4 million American users were won over.

What licenses for season 2?
We didn’t have to wait very long for the platform to give the green light to a sequel. After the publication of the last seven episodes, the mystery remains over the universes which the series intends to take over. The first season brought together emblematic licenses, such as Dungeons & Dragons, Pac-Man or even The Outer Worlds. Concord was even on the trip, even if the game was withdrawn from sale a few days after its release. There is no shortage of IP for the second round of episodes, we could hope to see some famous video games.
Kratos’ brief appearance in season 1 makes the universe God of War one of the most anticipated for the second salvo. We can indeed hope that in the absence of the live-action series promised to be released soon, Tim Miller will have an opportunity to delight the worshipers of the Santa Monica Studio license. On social networks, spectators have already made their requests. We can note the presence of Bioshock, Mass Effect or even Horizon Forbidden West. Note that this latest license must already be the subject of a series at Netflix.
Secret Level might also want to grab the most mentioned titles this year, like Black Myth : Wukong et Astrobot. We can also imagine episodes devoted to Rayman et Oddworldto capitalize on nostalgia. The first season was based on very famous titles and a few indie gems, we can expect the same to be the case with season 2. Note that Prime Video will undoubtedly focus on games in the making, as is was the case for Concord and with the risk that they will never see the light of day… Answer in a few months, when the teams will have really started developing this new salvo.
