    The event series is a spinoff of the Prime Video show “Secret Level”

    This sentence gives the same energy as, “Oh! Batman! The guy from Fortnite!”

      While true, the 40K episode of that miniseries was fuckin cool as shit, it also tied directly into Space Marine 2 that had just come out a couple months earlier.

      So this tells me it’s probably going to involve more Titus in some capacity.

        Totally agreed! Just, as a fan, I had an immediate visceral reaction to the (albeit slight) implication that 40k was created by Amazon for Secret Level.

        Gotta say, picking up Syama Pedersen is the best move GW ever made for their animation. Practically everything they put out these days is dripping with his style, and I’m here for it.

          I agree, that line you highlighted from the article is giving strong, “How do you do, fellow kids?” energy.

          I keep avoiding Secret Level because of all the headlines that tied the series to Concord, Sony’s failed Overwatch-like game. Y’all’s posts are tempting me to at least check out the 40k episode!

            I only watched a handful of episodes, really just the ones that were about games I knew or liked. The Pacman one was actually kinda fucked up and weird. Some of them amounted to what was basically just a long trailer, like the Megaman one.
