Horror Movie Barbarian Is Getting a Video Game Adaptation

I can let you know that the a online game adaptation of the Justin Long-starring horror film Barbarian was fairly low on my checklist of potential horror information tales in 2023, nonexistent even, however right here we’re. There will likely be a online game primarily based on Zach Cregger‘s 2022 horror film.

Bloody Disgusting broke the unique information in the present day that New Regency Pictures and Diversion3 Entertainment are creating a sport primarily based on the world of Barbarian for PC and consoles.

Diversion3 has some horror movie-to-game expertise, having helped within the creation of video games equivalent to Friday the thirteenth: The Game and Evil Dead: The Game, so it’s a fairly stable choose to make a Barbarian sport.

The film’s plot sees a younger lady (Georgina Campbell) arrive at her Airbnb late at night time solely to search out that it has been mistakenly double-booked and a unusual man (Bill Skarsgård) is already staying there. Against her higher judgment, she decides to remain the night time anyway however quickly discovers that there’s way more to be afraid of in the home than the opposite home visitor.

Its potential as a horror sport isn’t instantly apparent, however the latter half of Barbarian affords some acquainted locales for dread-inducing gameplay alternatives. In the assertion asserting the mission, Yariv Milchan, Chairman and CEO of New Regency Pictures, stated, “Expanding the Barbarian universe into gaming provides a new way to capture the horror that made the film such a success. We’re thrilled to collaborate with the incredibly talented team at Diversion3 Entertainment to immerse new and existing fans in this world.”

So that implies a new story in that world somewhat than replicating the film’s construction—no digital Justin Long shenanigans then, sadly (effectively, possibly).

The Barbarian online game at the moment has no launch date.
