Zach Cregger directed and developed Barbarian, his first feature film as a solo filmmaker. The movie brought in $45.4 million at the box office, above its $4–4.5 million budget. The critics gave the movie’s premise, scary scenes, and ensemble cast high marks. Barbarian narrated a scary tale for 102 minutes about an Airbnb circumstance where there are two bookings, which escalates into a terrifying nightmare. The goal of the new video game adaptation is to cover more ground than the original movie, giving gamers a unique and entertaining horror-thriller experience.
The gamers will come across other terrible situations in addition to the unsettling Airbnb scenario. Rumor has it that New Regency Pictures and Diversion3 Entertainment are developing a video game that takes its cues from the horror movie. While details on the plot, gameplay, characters, and places are still limited, players can anticipate delving deeper into the Barbarian universe on PC and other platforms. Tim Hesse, executive producer of Diversion3 Entertainment, expressed his enthusiasm for the proposal and his intention to develop the concepts further and apply them to the game. Currently, it’s unclear if this will be a sequel, prequel, or spin-off.
Even though barbarian enthusiasts may not know much about the past, they can still gain some insight from Diversion3 Entertainment’s past. The developer previously contributed to several well-known asymmetrical multiplayer horror games, including Evil Dead: The Game and Friday the 13th: The Game. Players could adopt the personalities of well-known characters from video games and horror films in these games.
These games bear a resemblance to Daylight by Dead. Thus, speculation arises that the Barbarian game might also adopt an asymmetric strategy. In this scenario, survivors might play original characters or movie victims, and killers could take control of characters such as The Mother.
But it’s crucial to keep in mind that, at least for the time being, all of this is merely speculation because not much is known about the game. Barbarian is the next video game adaptation of a series of other horror films. Another example of a horror movie sequence being turned into a game is the recently released Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Though it’s unknown when those details will be disclosed, fans of the film Barbarian may be in for more shocks and surprises from the future Barbarian game.
