Last month, we reported that Funko was trashing $30 million worth of Pops, which raised concerns about their financial situation. However, it appears that they are now looking to expand their offerings and increase profits by branching out into the tabletop games category.
In fact, Screenrant has shared some exciting first looks at a new game called Scream: The Game, which is set to release later this year. (no exact date released at this time).
The game is multiplayer and takes place in the Scream universe, where players must work together to survive Ghost Face’s pursuit in Woodsboro. The package includes a Ghost Face figurine and a free app that features Roger Jackson’s acting, the voice behind the infamous killer in the Scream movies, to enhance the gameplay experience.
More About Scream The Game
Screen Rant’s exclusive look at the game stated: “Alongside the app and figurine, Scream the Game features several other components that are designed to “delight Scream fans.” These include Scream and Scene cards with special art, a location board, and a knife marker complete with its own base. Gameplay for the tabletop title will be fast-paced, with each round estimated to take only 20 minutes.”
It’s surprising that there aren’t any other adaptations like Scream: the Game for the popular Scream franchise. A horror series with an iconic character like Ghost Face seems like a perfect fit for a game. Plus, with the special figurine of the killer included, it’s likely to become a sought-after collectible for fans.
We’ll post more information about release date and purchase links when they come available. Let us know in the comments if this is a game you would play.
