Are you ready to find Dead Cells on your screens in a completely new format? Next June, the indie game popular with roguelike and Metroidvania fans will be coming to the ADN streaming platform with an exclusive, 100% French animated series. Streaming service and studio Bobbypills (behind mature projects such as The Kasos or Peepoodo) unveiled this unexpected project last summer and are finally ready to tell us more. Now bearing the name Dead Cells: Immortalis, the cartoon plans to launch in the DNA catalog next June 19. Something to please enthusiasts who are still mourning content updates for the game.
This is a rather faithful but above all crazy adaptation of the adventures that players were able to experience in the original title by MotionTwin. Here, “the immortal immortal hero with the flaming head” has no need to come to the aid of the people struck by evil. “Bring peace? Above all, he wants to be fucked with it!” could we read in the synopsis shared last year. Now that a first proper trailer is finally available, we can see this artistic vision, to say the least offbeat, faithful to the legacy of Bobbypills. Salacious jokes, cartoonish violence and a French accent will be featured in this crazy adaptation.

Dead Cells under the prism of Kassos
After watching the trailer, it’s hard not to see this rewrite of the game as a spin-off of the series The Kasos. The program designed to ruin the image of pop culture icons has already reworked several video game characters and the recipe seems to be the same for Dead Cells: Immortal. The series could be the in-game run of a character from Kassos that we wouldn’t be surprised. Infuse a detestable human character into the soul of the protagonist, transform the rest of the world into a gathering of rednecks then add a heroine forced to deal with all this mess, and voila. But against all expectations, this approach once again promises to be devilishly effective.
This demystified version of Dead Cells will not fail to give us a few fits of laughter, assuming that the best jokes have not all been exhausted by the trailer. The character of Laurie Esposito promises to be a great addition to the game universe, in order to bring this not very motivated Chosen One back on the right path. Be aware, however, that the series will be a short-lived pleasure: it will be divided into only ten seven-minute episodes.
Given the scale of the quest that the duo will have to face, the action should move very quickly or be accompanied by numerous time jumps. A few references to the interface and mechanics of the game in the shared extracts suggest that the animated series will use it as a driving force to justify its format and add a layer of humor. See you on June 19 on ADN.
