The trailer for the game says it will be released in 2025 for Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
According to IGN , “Terrifier: The ARTcade Game” has six different game modes.
Users of the game play Art, who goes after movie sets where his gruesome acts are being brought to the big screen. As an act of revenge, Art sets his sights on his new victims: policemen, firewomen, camera operators, stunt performers, makeup artists, and even unsuspecting civilians.

After the trailer was released Friday, fans compared the upcoming game to “Scott Pilgrim,” based on the graphic novels and the 2010 film of the same name starring Michael Cena.
“It kinda looks like a Terrifier version of the Scott Pilgrim beat ’em up game,” one YouTuber said in the comments of the trailer.
Another comment read, “Lol they just took the Scott Pilgrim game and swapped some assets.”
However, other YouTubers expressed their excitement to play the game when it comes out next year.

The “Terrifier” films that debuted in 2016 revolve around Art the Clown as he terrorizes teenagers, with actress Lauren LaVera playing the starring role in both the second and third installments.
The latest movie, which was released on Friday, and is set on Christmas Eve, has been scaring some audience members right out of the movie theater.
At a screening for the horror flick in the UK last week, the film’s distributor, Signature Entertainment, wrote on X that movie theater staff “reported 11 people walking out and 1 person vomiting” during the viewing.

“If you are feeling unwell, please find a member of staff. Staff trained in first aid are on site,” the message read.
Leone, 42, said on X that he “did personally witness some crazy stuff at this UK screening.”

“Terrifier” viewers getting ill or fleeing the theater is nothing new for the series. By the release of the second film in 2022 , box-office numbers had seen a major increase, seemingly related to reports of audience members passing out or vomiting at screenings.
According to Variety , Leone has confirmed he will make a fourth film.
