‘Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game’ Invades Consoles and PC in 2023! [Trailer]
Who saw this coming? We might not be getting a film, but the Killer Klowns are back in video game form! Debuting at Gamescom this afternoon is Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game, a new asymmetrical multiplayer game coming home from Terravision Games and Good Shepherd Entertainment in 2023 for consoles and PC.
In fact, you can head over to the official site to sign up for the beta.
Based on the iconic ‘80s film. In the battle between Killer Klowns and citizens of Crescent Cove, team up and use your wits to harvest humans or save them from the alien invasion! You can play as the Killer Klowns as you cooperate in a team of three players, utilizing their outlandish abilities and weapons as you hunt humans. Or, you can fight back as a team of seven human citizens of Crescent Cove – pick your class, explore the city for valuable loot and weapons, avoid getting captured by Klowns, and try to survive.
You can choose from five classes of Killer Klowns and Humans, each with their own class and abilities that you unlock by levelling up. Humans share a pool of multiple respawns per match, so communication to beat back the Klowns is key! According to the developers, upon release, you’ll be playing on a map pulled straight from the 1988 film. They also state that they have “big plans” for future seasons that will keep you updating your strategies while playing.
Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game will arrive for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
