However, the trailer has raised eyebrows as it prominently features an episode centered on the now-defunct game Concord, leading many to question its relevance. Despite the series touting groundbreaking achievements and a star-studded cast including Keanu Reeves, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Kevin Hart, some critics argue that its selection of games, particularly Aeternum from New World, does not resonate with the gaming community at large. Secret Level is set to premiere on Prime Video from December 10 to December 17, marking an intriguing yet potentially controversial addition to gaming adaptations.
