The world of horror and asymmetrical multiplayer gaming seems to have been ruled for quite some time by Dead by Daylightalthough other games, such as Friday the 13th: The Game, were able to try it. During the Gamescom 2022 Opening Night Live, a new title was announced that completes the genre, in the presence of Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game.
Clowns vs Survivors
On the occasion of this adaptation of the film released in 1988, we find the executive director of Friday the 13th: The Game, Randy Greenback. And the ingredients take up what we can know about this type of game.
On one side, three clowns come straight from space in order to kidnap civilians, and on the other, these same civilians, struggling to survive against this invasion. The games will take the form of a 3 against 7where each clan must cooperate to claim victory.
Clowns can use special abilities and alien weapons to capture their targets, and survivors, with different classes, are doomed to scavenge for loot and weapons in order to escape, or counter , The invaders.
The action will take place, like the film, in Crescent Cove, and the layout of certain elements of the environment will vary with each game, offering its share of strategic interactions for both teams. The games will also be punctuated and renewed through dynamic objectives.
In short, fans of the genre should not be too out of place, although it should be noted that often the “bad guy” is all alone, whereas here there are three. To see if the balancing will hold up, but for now, we are only announcing the game, and its beta, whose registrations are already open.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is expected to arrive in early 2023 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series, PS4 and Xbox One.
