Terrifier The ARTcade Game is a retro fighting beat’em up announced for PC, Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox in 2025

From Press Release:

October 11, 2024 – As the highly anticipated Terrifier 3 slashes its way into theaters, the thrills continue off-screen with the announcement of Terrifier: The ARTcade Game. Set to launch in 2025 for Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, this brutal beat ’em up offers fans the chance to step into the chaos of Art the Clown’s world. With influences from classic arcade hits, it is a blood-soaked blend of retro nostalgia and modern multiplayer madness.

Produced by SelectaVisión, published by Selecta Play and developed by Relevo, Terrifier: The ARTcade Game draws inspiration from iconic horror-themed arcade classics of the 80s and 90s. The game pays homage to the horror-themed titles that defined an era. Whether you’re a fan of the Terrifier franchise or a lover of pixelated action games or retro gaming, this game delivers a blood-soaked trip down memory lane.

In Terrifier: The ARTcade Game, players step into the role of Art the Clown, the notorious villain from the Terrifier series, as he disrupts movie sets where films about his own gruesome acts are being shot. Instead of letting the cameras capture the staged terror, Art brings his own brand of real chaos, tearing through hordes of policemen, firewomen, camera operators, stunt performers, makeup artists, and even unsuspecting civilians. The vibrant pixel art graphics bring the film’s eerie settings to life, while smooth animations make every attack and finishing move a gory delight.

• Gorgeous Pixel Art & Animation: The game captures the essence of the Terrifier films with bright, cartoonish pixel art and fluid animations that vividly depict the gruesome action.
• Multiplayer Mayhem: Team up with up to 4 players for a chaotic local co-op experience. Work together—or against each other—in various game modes, each offering its own unique challenges.
• Bloody Arsenal of Weapons: From chainsaws to cleavers, pick up a variety of weapons to turn your enemies into bloody pulp. Power-ups scattered throughout the stages give you an extra edge in combat.
• Diverse Stages & Boss Battles: Travel through multiple stages, each with different paths to explore and enemies to defeat. At the end of each stage, prepare for intense boss battles that will test your skills.
• Chiptune Soundtrack: Relive the golden age of gaming with a glorious chiptune soundtrack that perfectly complements the retro aesthetic and adds to the chaotic atmosphere.
• Over-the-Top Attacks & Finishers: Enjoy hilarious and gory attacks that make every fight as entertaining as it is brutal. The finishing moves are guaranteed to leave a lasting impression!
• Multiple Game Modes: Dive into six game modes, offering quick beat ’em up sessions or extended challenges, each with unique twists and obstacles to keep the gameplay fresh and exciting.
