The Secret Level
It was back in this year’s gamescom where Secret Level was first announced. This is an adult animation anthology series which features 15 original short stories set within the worlds of some of the most beloved video games. One of these is on New World: Aeternum.
In a statement released back in October, Blur Studio co-founder Tim Miller revealed that one of the goals for the series was to feature games coming from a wide range of genres as possible. He added that the episode focused on New World: Aeternum is the only one that's based on an online RPG. Because of this, he went on to say that the team was really excited to have some fun when it comes to the online RPG experience.
Eternal Life
Each game that's part of the Secret Level series brings with it something unique. For New World: Aeternum, it's the concept of eternal life which is made possible through respawn. According to New World: Aeternum Narrative Director Rob Chestney, they were surprised by the approach the Blur made for the game's episode. He shared that the fantastic story Blur came up with sees the world from a different perspective. He said that this isn't your usual hero's journey but instead it's "an emotional journey and a story about friendship."
