Gameitall Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was arguably better than it had any right to be and that was mainly thanks to the family friendly action and the comedic chops of the actors involved. With a third movie on its way, it makes sense that we’ll be actually getting our own chance to survive the jungle.
Bandai Namco, Outright Games and Funsolve have all teamed up with Sony Pictures to make the adventures of Dr. Smolder Bravestone, Ruby Roundhouse, Franklin “Mouse” Finbar, and Professor Shelly Oberon interactive with Jumanji: The Video Game. The game will allow up to four players to play together online or Split-screen co-op in the hunt for the Jumanji Jewel, with a deadly array of exotic creatures, dangerious locations and an army of marauders in the way.
“This is a dream come true for our studio” Funsolve Founder and Director, Richard Tawn said “Adapting the exotic, dangerous and hilarious world of Jumanji into a video game has pushed us to create something truly special. We’ve got some incredibly exciting features and reveals coming soon, but for now let’s just say the game is coming this November, and puts you in the shoes of iconic Jumanji heroes.”
“Jumanji is a property we have been eager to work with for a long time” said Terry Malham, CEO of Outright Games “Our specialty as a video game publisher is in producing high-quality interactive-entertainment for the whole family to enjoy and there is no brand more exciting for families right now than Jumanji.”
No gameplay has been released at this time or any word if the cast of the film will be providing the voice over (their likeness is already clearly in use,) however an official trailer is out teasing a new adventure. The game is set to release on November 15th 2019 on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, a month before the third movie is set to release.
