Amazon Studios has released a new look at the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons episode for Secret Level, their new video game-themed anthology series. The trailer, which runs about 45 seconds, shows off a few characters from the trailer, including a gold dragon, a goliath character of some kind, and what appears to be a lich riding a giant bat. You can check out the full trailer on the social media site formerly known as Twitter.

Secret Level is the new video game anthology TV series created by Tim Miller, who also created Love, Death and Robots for Netflix. Each episode focuses on a different game franchise, ranging from Warhammer 40,000 to Mega Man to Pac-Man. Two episodes will be released per week starting on December 10th. Dungeons & Dragons and Warhammer 40K are the only tabletop games appearing in the show, although Warhammer 40K's episode is serving as a sequel to the recently released Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 video game.

D&D: Something felt missing. It had references, a small story, and several things to like. Maybe I didn't jive with the ending? 7/10.

Sifu: Dripping with style every second of its runtime. Equal parts Arcane and Kung Fu Panda. Just too short. 8/10.

New World: A cute idea, but it really felt like Schwarzenegger phoned it in. 3/10.

Xan: Phenomenal. Just really well done. 10/10.

Warhammer: The Astartes gentleman worked on this, and it shows. Dripping with style every second of its runtime. Relies too much on prior knowledge, but still phenomenal. 9.5/10.

Pac-Man: Completing the trio of good stories, this was visceral and spooky. Loses points for not going anywhere, and gains them back for raw subversion. 9/10.

Crossfire: The most realistic animation in this series. A few good character moments, but goes nowhere and feels hollow. 6.5/10.

Armored Core: Keanu rocks in his role, and it's visually stunning. I have no complaints, but I just didn't find it as compelling as Xan or Warhammer. 8/10.

Interesting, somewhat different from my rankings.

D&D: 7/10, mainly to short
Sifu: 7/10, also too short and you don't see the final battle. Had they included that it would be higher for me.
New World: 8/10, light and funny with character growth. The only episode my wife enjoyed.
Xan: Phenomenal. 5/10, to predicable
Warhammer: 5/10, one note and only interesting bit was the end.
Pac-Man: 8/10, I don't want to say much more than highly recommended!
Crossfire: 7/10, most interesting exploration of morality of the group IMO.
Armored Core: 8/10, some of the best fight scenes IMO and protagonist is delightfully f*****-up
 

The second half dropped yesterday, and I think my favorite short gor the entire season was actually Concord, the game for which was a horrific bomb. Very strong short film with Guardians of the Galaxy vibes.

Exodus was pretty good, too.
 

This was fine. This show basically feels like someone who worked at Prime got really excited about a cinematic in a videogame, threw a bunch of money at these creators and we got, well, a bunch of long cinematics.

I think if I hadn't seen a bunch of good cinematics and was familiar with the state of the art for them, I would have been blown away.
