Doing Secret Level and Halo x Doom Crossover Episode

by

Summary

  • The creators of Secret Level offered a crossover episode of Halo and Doom, but Microsoft and id Software rejected them.

  • The team also wanted to adapt Half-Life, but faced obstacles.

  • Despite the setbacks, the success of the first season opened the door for potential new adaptations in season 2.

Secret level fans almost got a Halo and Fate crossover. Prime Video's anthology series inspired by video games brought popular titles Mega man on Warhammer 40K to television, leaving many fans eager for other franchises to receive the same treatment in later seasons. Now, Secret level Creators Tim Miller and Dave Wilson revealed that they too wanted to adapt more games and went so far as to Halo and Fate episode.

The team behind the animated series wasn't afraid to take risks with the source material. Primarily Secret level he turned Pac Man into horror, but not all of Miller and Wilson's ideas got the guts to make it into the final show. As popular as Fate and Halo are, the proposed mash-up of the two titles failed to get off the ground.

The executive producers covertly discuss how the game anthology came to be

Secret Level executive producers Tim Miller and Dave Wilson talk about what exactly went into the game anthology in an interview with Game Rant.

In an interview with AcceleratorMiller and Wilson revealed that they wanted to do a Master Chief/Doom Slayer crossover episode but were turned down. Miller expressed frustration with comments from fans asking why Secret level featured Spelunky but no Halosaying that they had talked to Microsoft about it but couldn't get the project off the ground. Wilson elaborated that they wrote an “impassioned letter” to Microsoft and id Software, but the studios rejected the idea. While Secret level is still one of the best game adaptations of 2024, some fans will be disappointed to find that it could have been even better if the crossover between these two fan-favorite franchises made it to the screen.

Season 2's secret level could feature new games not in Season 1

Halo and Fate weren't the only plays Miller and Wilson wanted to adapt but were unable to. Miller also noted that they “begged” to create a Half-life an episode that also went nowhere. The creators explained that many titles have pre-existing adaptation agreements that may prevent them from providing them Secret level rights to edit them and other studios just say no. However, being rejected for the first season does not necessarily mean that something will not happen in the future. Amazon has already confirmed this Secret level will get a second season, which could include games that didn't make it into the first season.

Miller said the team hopes the success of the first season will open the door to adapting more IPs in Season 2. Whatever that means Halo/Fate It's unclear whether the crossover will eventually happen, and Miller noted that “there's still a lot of lawyers involved,” suggesting that copyright issues and other deals may still get in the way. But what they fear most are these big companies and their legal teams. Miller said that Secret levelThe makers fear the fans more than anything else. This fear may inspire them to take on major studios to turn their dreams into reality and satisfy fans in later seasons.
