Cannibal

Fantastico Studio have announced another game for the Nintendo Switch: Cannibal. It’s actually the 4th chapter of Ruggero Deodato’s Cannibal cycle (a series of cannibal-themed movies), which is going to be a horror graphic adventure game instead of a movie. It will be released in November worldwide.

Here’s a teaser trailer and some details:

On the fortieth anniversary of the release of the cult film “Cannibal Holocaust”, director Ruggero Deodato announces the fourth, highly awaited chapter of his cannibals cycle, with great news: the new episode will not be a movie, but a videogame created in collaboration with Fantastico Studio. Cannibal is an interactive horror graphic adventure with the direction and script of Ruggero Deodato, in which the player will take control of different characters, to reveal, little by little, the background that led them to a desperate expedition to the virgin jungles of Borneo.
The themes are the ones that made the saga popular: natives’ lives, told in its rawness, and cannibalism, powerful metaphors that reveal the most disturbing and deep impulses in our society. However, the formula changes: Cannibal is an interactive horror graphic adventure made with Unity, with the direction and script of Ruggero Deodato, the original drawings of Solo Macello, in which the player will take control of different characters, to reveal, little by little, the background that led them to a desperate expedition to the virgin jungles of Borneo. And of course, get to discover the end of the story, destined to shake from the foundations every certainty acquired during the game.

Cannibal (Switch – eShop) comes out in November worldwide. The Upcoming Games page has been updated!
