A game based on the Terrifier film series is set to be released next year.
Terrifier: The ARTcade Game will be a beat ’em up inspired by classics like Streets of Rage and Double Dragon, in which players take the role of the films’ iconic Art the Clown.
The ultra-gory Terrifier 3 is currently out in cinemas terrorising audiences – it’s the highest-grossing film in the series so far, beating rival clown Joker: Folie à Deux at the box office.
The Terrifier game, though, takes on a more cartoonish appearance for its blood-soaked antics.
It’s being developed by Relevo and published by Selecta Play, both known for their colourful, retro-inspired games.
The game will see Art the Clown destroying movie sets in over the top, pixel art action. It will also feature local co-op for up to four players, as well as six different game modes to vary gameplay.
It’s set for release in 2025 across Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
For a horror experience right now, check out the remake of Silent Hill 2, described as a “bloody triumph” in our Silent Hill 2 Remake review.
Or, for something more retro, the PS1-inspired Crow Country is out this week on PS4 and Switch, in addition to its PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S release in May.
