The first real gameplay for Jumanji: The Video Game is here to show off how we are going to be pulled back into the world of Jumanji again
If you have forgotten, Jumanji: The Video Game is actually going to be a thing to get us all back into the franchise before the next film and to keep it all going. It was announced a while back that Funsolve and Outright Games was going to do this so that is not the big shock here. We did not have any actual gameplay to look at and just a few still shots to give us a feel for what Jumanji: The Video Game was going to look and play like. Not the best way to do that, but it is what we have had for a while now. Note the word ‘now’ as we have some new gameplay to take in.
For those that have not just skipped along to the new gameplay for Jumanji here, what we get to see is what looks to be more like a Gauntlet style of game with the skin of the more recent film over it. That is about the basics. Once you start to look a bit deeper, it looks like each of the characters from the film will have a lot more detail and everything than something generic. I do not remember Prof. Oberon having a belly bump kind of move for the film, but video games have to video game. At the very least, it does look like Jumanji: The Video Game will have a great mix of co-op and multiplayer gameplay to experience. Have a look now for those that kept reading.
