While we will receive a new Jumanji movie later this December, coming a month before the film will be an officially licensed video game.
The game is simply called Jumanji: The Video Game and it’s based on the newer films. It has the likenesses of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan and Jack Black.
The game will be out on November 15th, 2019 for the PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch platforms. The game uses Unreal Engine 4.
For more information about the game, you can read about the details via the press release info posted below.
“Releasing November 15th, 2019, Jumanji: The Video Game puts you in control of Jumanji’s greatest heroes as they seek to find the precious Jewels of Jumanji, save the world and find a way home. What’s stopping them? Only a deadly array of exotic creatures, dangerous locations and an army of evil marauders.
Unite with up to three friends on this hilarious adventure in online or split-screen modes, as you tackle all new Jumanji environments and choose your hero from Dr. Smolder Bravestone, Ruby Roundhouse, Franklin “Mouse” Finbar or Professor Shelly Oberon and combine their unique abilities to keep one another alive.
“This is a dream come true for our studio” Funsolve Founder and Director, Richard Tawn said “Adapting the exotic, dangerous and hilarious world of Jumanji into a video game has pushed us to create something truly special.
