The Game Synopsis states: “Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is an asymmetrical multiplayer horror based on the iconic ‘80s film. In the battle between Killer Klowns and citizens of Crescent Cove, team up and use your wits to harvest humans or save them from the alien invasion!“
Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game will be a 3v7 asymmetrical multiplayer horror game. You will have the ability to either play as a killer klown trying to harvest the humans or be a citizen of Crescent Cove and survive the invasion. The game will have similar mechanics to games such as Dead by Daylight and Friday the 13th: The Game.
IGN states that: “The game is being developed by Teravision, with Randy Greenback, who previously served as the executive director for Friday the 13th: The Game, attached to the project.”
The original film titled Killer Klowns from Outer Space debuted in theaters in 1988. The film was a hit with both critics and audiences receiving 77% Critic and 60% Audience Scores on Rotten Tomatoes. It went on to make $43M on a $2M Budget. It has since gained a huge cult following. A sequel titled The Return of the Killer Klowns from Outer Space in 3D was supposed to happen but has been stuck in development hell for years and likely won’t happen at all.
It will be interesting to see if the game will be as successful as Dead by Daylight has been or falls short like similar games. Are you excited about this new horror game? Let us know in the comments below. Also, check out the trailer for the original movie below.
