20th Century has won theatrical film rights to the popular game 99 Nights in the Forest, developed by Grandma’s Favourite Games and hosted on Roblox, reports THR.
99 Nights is an action-survival game where players must endure 99 nights in a haunted forest while attempting to rescue four lost children and fight the vicious creatures inhabiting the deep woods.
No writer or director is attached at this stage nor are any producers involved. The game’s developers, Alec Kieft, Matthew Hufton, and Cameron Angland will serve as executive producers.
Not even a year old, the game is already the seventh most played game of all time on Roblox, per 20th Century, boasting nearly 26 billion lifetime visits and a player rating of 90.6%. The game has a 14.2M all-time peak player count, ranking no. 3 on the Roblox platform, and frequently hosts hundreds of thousands of concurrent players.
Executive J.R. Young will oversee the project for 20th Century Studios. The company’s Michelle Kamme was involved in making the rights deal.
