'Renfield' video game allows players to eat as many bugs and spill as much blood as they like

With Renfield just days away from opening in theaters, Universal Pictures, Skybound Entertainment, and Digital Platforms have announced a video game inspired by the horror-action-comedy. Now available on Steam Early Access for PC starting today for $4.99, Renfield: Bring Your Own Blood allows players to step into the shoes of Dracula's put-upon assistant as he munches on insects and spills blood while battling the forces of darkness. Updates and additional content will be rolled out through the summer.

Per the release, the "single-player adventure ... combines the simplicity of one-touch gameplay with frenetic, room-based action for a new roguelite experience." The game represents a co-production between Skybound and Mega Cat Studios. The former company was founded by The Walking Dead and Invincible creator Robert Kirkman, whose original screen story inspired the movie's script written by Ryan Ridley (an alumnus of Community and Rick and Morty).

"It’s an incredible opportunity for us to be working on this with Skybound and Universal Games and Digital Platforms."
