It is still somewhat ironic that a genre that exploded at the media level for a film based on a novel, after its subsequent massification within video games through PUBG and Fortnite, is now going to have another film.
But not a regular movie, but an interactive one, in the vein of any of Wales Interactive’s productions. A video game in the plan “choose your adventure” where there is a tremendous visual load in which the dialogues will determine the development of a good part of the scenes. And with the premise of a Battle Royale.
In charge of those responsible for the video game / film The Complex, this time we will witness “a televised battle between streamers celebrities, actors and prisoners of death row “. And to decide the fate of Nick, a failed actor who yearns to win a prize money to change his luck.
The “program” of this interactive movie is called “Kill and Retransmit”, the reality show with the largest audience on the planet for its explicit proposal. Because yes, people die there and the victor is the only one who survives. A Battle royale full-fledged, wow. Except that here we will see the evolution in the relationships of the characters and with a total of eight hours of narrative video and multiple endings.
Hopefully the end result is luckier than this first teaser, which does not bode well and seems more like a by-product of cinema, right? Be that as it may, next november (still no specific day) will be available on consoles (PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch), Steam and iOS.
