‘Killer Klowns’ Game Previews New Map Based on Movie Location
Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on June 4, and a brand new map has been shown off this afternoon.
Based on a location fans of the movie will be familiar with, Downtown Crescent Cove “has a wide-spanning open-air plaza as well as tighter building interiors to promote varied gameplay.”
The team previews, “Explore manmade and organic spaces while you maneuver around deserted vehicles strewn throughout. Take advantage of the higher points so you may peer over and through the avenues and alleyways. As you’re making your way, you may discover the familiar Police Station or the Biker’s alley, giving you the movie experience and immersing you further into the Killer Klowns universe.”
Learn more over on the PlayStation blog and watch the map reveal video below.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game can be pre-ordered right now from the STEAM Store, PlayStation Store & Xbox Marketplace. The game has full crossplay support.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is a 3v7 asymmetrical multiplayer horror game based on the cult horror classic film. When murderous alien Klowns come to feed on the quiet town of Crescent Cove, the locals must work together to fight back and survive the invasion.
Players can team up as either Klowns or humans, choosing from a variety of character classes, to explore an expansive, ever-changing map with creepy surprises waiting around every corner.
- Take on the role of the iconic Killer Klowns – cooperate in a team of three players, utilize unworldly abilities, hunt humans with zany weapons, and plan your alien invasion to harvest the population of Crescent Cove successfully.
- Fight back as a team of seven brave citizens of Crescent Cove – explore the city for valuable loot and weapons, avoid getting captured by Klowns, and try to survive the alien invasion.
Developed by Teravision Games and Illfonic, this playfully panic-inducing action experience faithfully recreates the atmosphere of the iconic movie and aims to stir up the asymmetrical multiplayer horror genre in multiple ways. The game is being developed as a live-service title, with multiple content updates planned for post-launch.
