Just over a month after the game’s release, Moonhood Studios has announced that their dark, hand-crafted Claymation adventure game The Midnight Walk is being adapted into a film or TV series.
The Midnight Walk, which was released on PS5, PSVR2 and PC(Steam) to critical acclaim, is a “handcrafted claymation world of shadow and sorrow, a mysterious figure known as The Burnt One must journey through five haunting tales of fire and darkness"”guided only by the flickering flame of a lost lantern creature named Potboy.”
Check out our review of The Midnight Walk.
The developers dropped an accolades trailer today alongside the trans-media announcement, which you can watch below.
In a press release, it states that the game studio is in talks with Story Kitchen, the film & television production company behind
high-profile adaptations like Sonic the Hedgehog and Tomb Raider.
"The moment we saw The Midnight Walk, we knew it was something special," said Dmitri M. Johnson and Mike Goldberg, Co-Founders of Story Kitchen. "Its world is hauntingly beautiful, its story emotionally raw, and its craftsmanship absolutely next-level. We're thrilled to help bring MoonHood's vision to an even broader audience."
While the team at GSC is thrilled to see The Midnight Walk and Moonhood Studios getting their flowers, it’s the fact that we will be getting more hand-crafted claymation productions that means so much to us.
“Our team poured heart and soul into The Midnight Walk," said Lyngeled and Redmalm, who make up the core team of Moonhood Studios. "To see that story now step into the world of film and television with a partner like Story Kitchen is a dream come true. We can't wait for audiences to experience it in a whole new light."
The project is currently in early development.
