Next-gen gaming and entertainment company Orange Comet has announced its collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences to bring “JAWS,” the 1975 landmark film from Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, to an all-new audience through an immersive experience entitled “JAWS: Infested Waters.” Currently, in soft launch, this adrenaline-charged experience is available exclusively on the Roblox platform.
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.”
“The JAWS: Infested Waters” experience is designed to offer a multifaceted experience that combines elements of strategy, teamwork, and action. The goal is to give users an authentic and suspenseful encounter with one of cinema’s most iconic characters.
As the collaboration between Orange Comet, Inc. and Universal Products & Experiences comes to life, fans can anticipate more details, sneak peeks, and exciting updates leading up to the experience’s highly anticipated release next month.
