20th Century Studios has snagged the rights to make a movie based on hit Roblox game 99 Nights in the Forest.<\/p>\n
99 Nights in the Forest is the seventh most-played game of all time on Roblox despite being only about a year old. As you could probably guess from the title, it has a bit of a Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s feel to it, forcing players to spend 99 nights in a haunted forest. During that time, players must defeat creatures that live in the woods and set out to save four lost children. <\/p>\n
The game currently has 26 billion lifetime visits and a 14.2 million all-time peak player count, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Hearing those numbers, it makes a lot of sense as to why 20th Century Studios decided to make it its first major foray into video game adaptations since Disney acquired the studio in 2019. <\/p>\n
No creatives or producers have been attached to the project yet beyond the game\u2019s developers \u2014 Alex Kieft, Cameron Angland, and Matthew Hufton \u2014 who will serve as executive producers.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrowing up, Disney and 20th films were a huge part of our childhood, so collaborating with such legendary and enduring studios feels surreal,\u201d the game\u2019s creators said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to explore the world of 99 Nights in the Forest on a broader stage and to create some scares in an entirely new medium.\u201d<\/p>\n
