‘Jaws’ Takes a Bite Out of Roblox With Video Game ‘Jaws: Infested Waters’ [Trailer]
Admittedly, much like Minecraft, Roblox isn’t to everyone’s tastes, but that doesn’t mean that horror isn’t making its way into the game. Case in point: Orange Comet has announced a collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences to bring Steven Spielberg‘s 1975 classic Jaws to the Roblox platform with Jaws: Infested Waters.
Currently in soft launch, Jaws: Infested Waters is a group survival adventure that aims to “[capture] the essence of the breathtaking and terrifying action-thriller.”
The gameplay experience revolves around the tension between the eponymous great white shark and the Amity Island locals, with one player assuming the role of Jaws, while the rest of the players try to outlast and outsmart them. In a random selection process, as Jaws, the player’s objective is to track down the shark hunters and prevent them from achieving their goals.
Meanwhile, the rest of the players as the shark hunters must band together, strategically complete objectives, and ultimately fend off the predator.
According to the official page for Infested Waters, as Jaws, you’ll have customizable shark abilities and underwater battles with the hunters. There is also a “Sea Pass” that will be available to unlock exclusive items.
Jaws: Infested Waters will officially release in March.

LKA Delves Deeper Into the Horror of ‘When Sirens Fall Silent’ in New Presentation [Video]
During the Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition, publisher Wired Productions and developer LKA released a three-minute developer presentation for psychological horror game When Sirens Fall Silent, offering players a deeper look into the mystery, characters, and unsettling world of the upcoming psychological thriller.
Following two creative story-based cinematic reveals (which you can watch here and here) that introduced the game’s atmosphere, themes, and central mystery, LKA Founder and Director Luca Dalcò guides viewers further into the world of the forgotten people, revealing more of what awaits players as they uncover the truth behind a series of kidnappings and murders.
From the creators of Martha is Dead, When Sirens Fall Silent casts players as Mila, a policewoman in early 1990s Rome, Italy. Haunted by a past she’s desperate to escape, Mila is thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the investigation unravels, you must not only save her from herself, but also from being consumed by the violence, mystery and confusion.
Featuring a branching, multi-layered narrative dialogue system, with a huge focus on verbal and emotional interaction, investigation and subsequent choices, players will be faced with difficult real-world topics. LKA aims to “pull no punches” with its story, but also hints at a few surprises along the way.
When Sirens Fall Silent is currently in development for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
