Today, Jumanji: The Video Game has received its very first gameplay trailer, courtesy of Outright Games.
We first heard about this one back in June, when it was revealed that Outright, along with Bandai Namco and UK developer Funsolve, would be launching a new game based on the Jumanji film franchise. It has players taking on the role of the film’s heroes and heading off on an adventure to find the precious Jewels of Jumanji, with plenty of deadly, exotic creatures, dangerous locations, and more to discover along the way.
We also have some new screenshots for you if you'd like a closer look:
The game's release date has actually been brought forward by a week to 8th November, when it will launch on Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Something tells me Jablinski Games is to blame for this game's existence.
So if the game follows the plot from the films, characters are not balanced AT ALL.
hmm... could be a nice time waster. If it is functional I'll get it on discount.
The characters look very robotic in movement, and this is footage from tbe PS4 version.... Graphics themselves seem ok but I'm dubious about the gameplay.... Lets just see
Looks much better than the awful PS2 Jumanji..
Press [X] to smoulder
@BANJO - I can agree to this, the whole presentation looks good, like screens looks crisp too.
Then they start animating and suddenly... Everything is uncomfortable.
Future "Buy this game before it's delisted when the license runs out" game
Glad to see movie tie in garbage games make a return. First Bubsy now this, what a time to be alive
It looks terrible and in no way matches the movie. It appears to be another bad movie tie in.
Oh the bright side, it makes the Scrat game look really good.
@Paraka Yes, the animations on the characters jolts... I'm not exactly hopeful for this... It certainly needs some work. When the trailer is bad and it's meant to showcase the best bits of the game then it's time to worry
This looks like a really really bad Fortnite clone done on mobile and then it gets worse....
@antdickens We mortals have to press X to smolder, but for The Rock.... It just happens naturally. smouldering intensifies
Looks like a Free-to-Play mobile game...
They should have made a cool retro-style beat em up, a la Final Fight. I remember some killer pixel art that some dude did when the first movie came out. That was sweet
Uhhhh... Uhhh...
I really dont know what to think of this one.
The movement are the same as playing with LEGO.
The graphics are good, but i really dont know.
@BANJO - I dunno, I have had some experiences where the trailer showcased a horrible experience but it was something I enjoyed quite well. Clip's Twisted World comes to mind.
But yeah, does feel like Outright is trying to change license gaming, but one simply cannot shake off that image so easily when even a trailer confirms suspicions.
@construx lol
But will Mouse blow up if he eats cake?
I was thinking that my son (who loved the movie) would be interested in this, but after looking at the trailer, it definitely look like a sub-par crap movie tie-in game. And you tell me this is from the PS4 version? If it looks that bad on the PS4, I'm wandering how it'll end up looking on the Switch...
Those characters animations... outch. Not good.
It looks like something I'd expect from a "freemium" mobile game. Not from a proper console game.
@Paraka Yes I might be surprised, it could be GOTY contender... Perhaps not
This looks awful - day one for me - I’ve posted before asking for a return of licensed tie ins - some of my fave games are licensed movie tie ins and not just the big ones - it doesn’t look great but I’ll have fun with it...
You smell what the stocks is cookin’
Nobody told them they were not making a F2P Mobile game 🙄
looks like a ps2 game
@EvilRegal
Jack Black: Wow. That is a man right there.
I have no idea what I just watched.
Soon there will be social media posts based on youtube videos based on a video game gameplay based on a movie based on another movie based on a board game.
If I'm reading this correctly, it was originally supposed to be released on November 15th. . . I wonder why they changed the release date. . .
@RevampedSpider Have you seen the line up for 2019? I'm going to have to sell a kidney as is. DQXI Switch is going to murder me next month.
Nope. And nope, can't think of anything more to say, Nintendo Life Pop-Up that asks if I can't think of anything more to say. 🖤
@Obito_Sigma pretty much Baudrillard’s nightmare 😄
Umm..why does this look like Fortnite...?
This reminds me of the Shrek 2 movie video game that i loved back then.
Will have to wait and see how this turns out. I’m guessing this could be fun 😁
@RootsGenoa
It's a 1 player game for sure. Everyone picks the rock and ignores the rest.
