RocketRide Games :

Montreal, Canada, March 6th 2024 – Calling all horror aficionados and Roblox enthusiasts! Today, video game agency and developer RocketRide Games and Universal Products & Experiences are thrilled to announce the launch of Griefville: Survive the Nightmare!, a chilling interactive experience inspired by the beloved horror classic films of the 80s and 90s coming to Roblox today. Prepare to step into a pixelated nightmare where nostalgia meets heart-pounding chills via the platform’s Game Fund program.

Griefville: Survive the Nightmare! offers an unrivaled experience featuring Universal’s horror icon, Chucky. This world will bring in beloved horror films on a rotating basis, reaching fans and users that grew up alongside the very horror icons the game pays homage to. Users are launched into the main town called Griefville, surrounded by creepy graveyards and haunted with nightmares that suck you into quests packed with creepy characters, often from iconic horror franchises. Players will explore an ever expanding map with future updates featuring familiar locations inspired by horror films.

“With Griefville: Survive the Nightmare!, we wanted to create an experience that taps into the shared cultural touchstone of 80s and 90s horror for older Roblox users,” said Louis-Rene Auclair, CEO of RocketRide Games. “It’s not just about jump scares; it’s about capturing the atmosphere, the tension, and the pure joy of getting lost in a classic horror flick. We are delighted to bring Griefville to Roblox with the best possible partners!”
 

Prepare for the following hair-raising features in Griefville: Survive the Nightmare!

Play as Chucky

For a limited time, users can unleash Chucky’s mayhem as fans turn into the infamous serial killer himself to stalk and eliminate other users with terrifying speed or on the flip side, try to survive his murderous escapades.

“The Chucky character is synonymous with horror, and we are so excited to participate in this killer new experience on the Roblox platform,” adds Bill Kispert, SVP & GM, Games & Digital Platforms at Universal Products & Experiences. “Bringing the iconic killer doll frighteningly to life in the game, adds an unexpected twist to Griefville: Survive the Nightmare! and further solidifies the authenticity of the classic horror vibe in the experience.”

Chucky will be integrated as a nightmare experience where users can either play as Chucky and hunt others or as a victim running away from the madness and trying to survive. Chucky can use regular attacks or a special skill allowing the killer doll to jump on the victims’ back!

Griefville: Survive the Nightmare! promises to be an unforgettable evolving interactive experience, launching today. Players will confront their fears and rediscover the thrills of 80s and 90s horror, all within the ever-expanding world of Roblox.
