In a thrilling turn of events, the highly anticipated multiplayer horror game, Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game, has unveiled a new partnership. Illfonic, renowned for their work on asymmetrical horror titles like Friday the 13th: The Game and Predator: Hunting Grounds, has stepped in as both co-developer and publisher for the game, in collaboration with Teravision Games.
The Transformation
Illfonic’s involvement signals a dynamic shift in the project’s trajectory. Previously entrusted to Good Shepherd Entertainment, Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game has now found its creative compass in Illfonic’s capable hands. This transition was officially announced during the Gamescom convention in Cologne, Germany.
From Cult Classic to Thrilling Gameplay
Fans initially raised their eyebrows when news broke of an adaptation of the 1988 cult classic horror film Killer Klowns from Outer Space into a video game. Yet, subsequent unveilings have ignited immense enthusiasm within the community. The game’s trailers and updates have showcased a unique 3 vs 7 asymmetrical survival horror experience, akin to hits like Friday the 13th: The Game and Dead by Daylight.
A Seamless Fit
Illfonic’s credentials are impeccable, making their collaboration with Killer Klowns from Outer Space an organic match. The studio boasts an impressive track record with games that embrace a similar horror dynamic. Their roster includes titles like Friday the 13th: The Game, Predator: Hunting Grounds, and Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. The latter two are testaments to Illfonic’s commitment to quality, as they continue to contribute to the Ghostbusters franchise. Their involvement in prominent projects like Crysis 3 and Evolve underscores their expertise.
A Vision for Immersion
Charles Brungardt, the CEO and co-founder of Illfonic, couldn’t contain his excitement about the collaboration. He expressed his team’s enduring passion for the Killer Klowns IP and lauded the smooth transition orchestrated by the previous publisher, Good Shepherd Entertainment. Brungardt’s goal is to craft an experience that horror aficionados can truly lose themselves in, honoring the essence of the original Killer Klowns movie.
A Reassuring Outlook
Illfonic’s penchant for adapting classic 1980s film franchises into captivating asymmetric horror games aligns seamlessly with their role in Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game. Although the official launch date remains under wraps, and the game’s website still echoes an “early 2023” release window, rest assured that the wheels of development are turning. Eager players can still sign up for the Killer Klowns beta, offering them a tantalizing sneak peek into the game’s world.
