Godzilla Studio Toho is making a Exit 8 live action adaptation

Toho, the legendary studio behind the Godzilla franchise and the Haikyu!! anime is now set to adapt the odd and creepy Nintendo Switch hit Exit 8 to the big screen.

Via a scoop caught by Gamesradar, we learned Exit 8‘s creator has just written a message to fans, celebrating the surprise of learning the small title would be adapted to the big screen just a year after release.

If you don’t know anything about the game I’m talking about, that actually speaks loads about Exit 8‘s prowess as the perfect indie sleeper hit. Exit 8 is a very simple affair, one where players are tasked with navigating a labyrinthian maze of liminal spaces that make up a nightmarish version of Tokyo’s subway system. On top of the natural anxiety that comes from feeling lost, players will also have to deal with certain anomalies that are sure not to help them in their quest for freedom.

Even though it was this year’s second-most downloaded Switch title, many still don’t know about it. That sounds strange, but it is actually great if you’re looking for a mysterious and creepy theater experience that’ll have you on the edge of your seat.

Recent times have shown us that good video game adaptations can be a thing. While I have no idea how Toho manages to tackle such a title, I’m down to see what such a studio will try to pull with the adaptation of this creepy internet copypasta-inspired indie hit about making the mundane terrifying.

Whether or not you care about the upcoming adaptation of this spooky indie, you can get Exit 8 for the Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
