Dead by Daylight “abysmal” as Texas Chainsaw, Killer Klowns move in
Dead by Daylight, the multiplayer horror game from BHVR, is becoming “abysmal” according to some fans on the DBD Reddit, as the new finisher mori system for Dead by Daylight killers hits the public test servers, and multiplayer rivals like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Killer Klowns from Outer Space head towards launch.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space is an awesome Dead by Daylight rival
When you go looking through the touchstone horror franchises of the slasher era, there are several killers that spring to mind: Voorhees, Kruger, Myers, and Leatherface. But what about the Killer Klowns From Outer Space? Unlike the slasher hall-of-famers mentioned above, the Klowns never made it past a single movie, with many attempted sequels mired in development since the 1988 original. Yet somehow, somehow they’re getting an official videogame. And as a horror game, it sounds amazing.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game devs detail classes, weapons and its terrifying balloon dogs
I think it’s fair to say Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game was one of the more… leftfield reveals from this week’s Gamescom Opening Night Live bonanza. In case you missed it, it’s a 3v7 asymmetrical multiplayer adaptation of the cult 1988 horror film of the same name, but details on how its creepy clowning around would actually work were few and far between, to say the least. Thankfully, I sat in on a developer presentation earlier this week to find out exactly how it stacks up to other asymmetrical horror film games out there at the moment, as well as how it hopes to evolve and redefine the hide-and-seek genre as a whole.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is an outlandish 3v7 horror experience arriving in early 2023
You’ll often catch me complaining that we need to stop turning horror cult classic cinema into video game adaptations. That said, we saw Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live last night. Little did I know that this unexpected reveal from some grotesque looking clowns was exactly what I’d been hoping for, despite it being a 3v7 experience.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space is an iconic horror film from 1988. It’s silly, outlandish, and all about some unwelcome extraterrestrial visitors that happen to look like clowns. If you’ve not seen it, you might think it looks stupid, and in some areas, it is, but that’s exactly what is so great about the film; it doesn’t take itself too seriously, while also being a fun, horror experience that takes you back to the eighties.
With that in mind, as well as the bazooka-like popcorn gun and cocoons that people end up trapped in throughout the film, it makes perfect sense that Killer Klowns from Outer Space is being adapted into a video game set to release in early 2023.
