Secret Level creator and executive producer Tim Miller said the team never considered removing the Concord episode, and Amazon never asked them to cut it. The episode was already a finished story and animation project, and its creators were proud of the work.
Why the Concord episode stayed in Secret Level
Miller told GamesRadar+: “It never came up with us, I mean, Amazon never suggested it, and we didn’t either because why?” He also said, “And I can’t see any reason why we wouldn’t put it out there for the fans.”

His explanation was that the episode was complete, its makers were pleased with it, and there was no reason to discard the work of the artists and developers who had made it. Miller expressed sympathy for Concord’s developers, saying the game’s disappearance did not diminish the effort they had put into either the game or the episode.
Why the production timeline mattered
Miller said the episode had been finished months before the production team learned what was happening with Concord. The schedule had been built around the game’s planned release date, so the episode was already a completed production when the game’s circumstances changed. GameSpot also reported Miller’s account of the timing.

Concord had been chosen years earlier
Dave Wilson, Secret Level‘s executive producer and supervising director, said the decision to include Concord had been made years earlier. As Wilson explained in GamesRadar+’s interview, the anthology was intended to span games at different stages, including past, present and future releases. A game’s eventual status therefore did not automatically make its episode unsuitable.
Wilson praised episode director Patrick Osborne and described the Concord installment as joyful. That quality became bittersweet in light of the game’s fate, but it did not change the creators’ view that the finished episode was worth releasing.

Secret Level is an animated anthology based on video-game properties. Its Concord installment was part of the series rollout that began December 10, 2024, with further episodes released through December 17, according to GamesRadar+. The episode was made before Concord went offline, leaving the show with a story tied to a game that would no longer be playable online when the anthology arrived.
These interviews establish the creators’ account of the decision: Miller said Amazon did not suggest cutting the episode, while Wilson described why Concord had been selected in the first place. They do not independently document Amazon’s internal deliberations. Current Prime Video availability can vary by territory and date, so the original release does not establish where the episode can be streamed now.
