Rocky Horror Picture Show Video Game Announced

A new 8-bit video game adaptation of 'The Rocky Horror Show' is set to be released in October 2024, just in time for Halloween. The game, developed by FreakZone Games and Bit Bot Media, offers a retro platforming experience, allowing players to relive the peculiar journey of characters Brad and Janet through chiptune renditions of the musical's iconic soundtrack. Although some fans express disappointment at the choice of platformer format over a point-and-click adventure, enthusiasm remains high for the nostalgic graphics and gameplay. The game will be available on multiple platforms including PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and Nintendo Switch. Additionally, Northern Michigan University Theatre and Dance is preparing to stage a live production of the musical, continuing its legacy in the arts community. This dual approach highlights the enduring popularity and cultural impact of 'The Rocky Horror Show' across different mediums.
