'Jaws' Adventure Launched on Roblox

Universal is teaming up with video game studio Orange Comet to bring JAWS, the 1975 landmark film, to an official Roblox immersive experience entitled JAWS: Infested Waters.  The game has softed launched and is now available.

Here’s how it’s described:

Capturing the essence of the breathtaking and terrifying action-thriller, the JAWS: Infested Waters experience on Roblox is a group survival adventure that thrusts visitors into the heart of the action. The experience revolves around the iconic tension between the dangerous great white shark and Amity Island locals, faithfully echoing the edge-of-your-seat suspense of the classic motion picture while having some fun along the way. One user assumes the role of the formidable shark, while the rest of the users strive to outlast and outsmart the ocean's apex predator.

 

The central gameplay loop, featuring elements of composer John Williams' instantly recognizable Oscar-winning score that has become synonymous with suspense, forms the backbone of this thrilling experience. In a random selection process, users may find themselves taking on the menacing persona of the shark, with the objective of tracking down the shark hunters and preventing them from achieving their goals. Conversely, those cast as the shark hunters must band together, strategically complete objectives, and ultimately fend off the iconic predator.

"JAWS is a one-of-a-kind film that generations of fans love to watch – and be terrified by – together," said Bill Kispert, SVP Games & Digital Platforms at Universal Products & Experiences. "This led us to explore a unique, multiplayer experience filled with frightening fun and unexpected twists above and below the surface. We look forward to Roblox users having a blast with their friends in this action-packed social game that really packs a bite."

"I would say we're kicking and screaming with excitement, but that might attract sharks", said Dave Broome, CEO of Orange Comet. "It's truly an honor to work on a game inspired by one of the most iconic film franchises ever created. We're thrilled to bring JAWS: Infested Waters to Roblox, where fans can enjoy an entirely new immersive experience inspired by the film."
