In a recent press release, IllFonic CEO and co-founder Charles Brungardt said, “When we first started talking to Good Shepherd Entertainment and Teravision Games about this possibility, we were very excited about the IP. Then we got to know the team at Teravision and knew we were going to make this happen. Everyone at Good Shepherd has made the handoff process of this project enjoyable, as there is a lot of behind-the-scenes business to make something like this possible.

“And we are thrilled to help create another experience for the community they can truly immerse themselves in. Imagining yourself in this universe is wild. It is why we love creating and publishing games for IPs we are fans of!”

Enrique Fuentes, Teravision Games CEO and co-founder, also said, “We are excited about partnering with IllFonic for Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game. They have more experience than anyone in the industry in the asymmetrical multiplayer genre. The combined passions of Teravision Games and IllFonic will allow us to take the game to the next level and make us feel confident about the challenges of multiplayer at this scale.”

A release date wasn’t announced, but it is coming to Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5 and PC. It’s based on the 80s horror film of the same name, with a team of three Killer Klowns hunting down seven humans in Crescent Cove. The Klowns have unique abilities, while the humans can utilize different weapons.

Interestingly, Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game was announced at last year’s Gamescom Opening Night Live. Perhaps a new trailer and release date will be revealed at today’s showcase, which airs at 11 AM PT. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

The trailer talks about the work that went into trying to recreate the atmosphere from the cult classic movie and translate it into Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game.

Announced earlier this year during Gamescom, Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is an asymmetric multiplayer game where players can play either as the titular Killer Klowns that want to harvest humans, or the humans who are trying to fight off the Klowns.

While Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game doesn’t yet have a solid release date, we do know that it is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC some time in early 2023.
