“Dead Cells’’: animated adaptation of the game hits the small screen

Widely praised on PCs and video-game consoles for seven years, “Dead Cells’’ is now available on the small screen as an animated series for the ADN platform. This adaptation results from the collaboration of two French studios: the independent developer Motion Twin and the animation studio Bobbypills. How did the “Dead Cells: Immortalis’’ project originate? And how did the two studios work together to turn the video game into a series? Let’s take a closer look.
