Jumanji:
The Video Game is based on the wildly successful film franchise that
began in 1995 with
Jumanji and has gone on to produce the box office hit Jumanji:
Welcome to the Jungle in 2017
as well as its highly anticipated sequel releasing this December.
“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.”
As
a huge fan of the Jumanji film franchise, with the first film being
an iconic film from my childhood and the latest instalment Jumanji:
Welcome to the Jungle bringing new adventures and a love for
different characters, I am delighted with the news of a Jumanji video
game. I can't wait to jump into the world of Jumanji thanks to a
video game just as they did in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and get
to play the heroes from the film....I predict my eldest will want to
play the Rock's character Dr. Smolder Bravestone!
Jumanji:
The Video Game will run on Unreal Engine 4, and releases worldwide on
15th November
2019 for PlayStation® 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch™ and PC Digital.
