‘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.

Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.

Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”

Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.

And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
