Bit Bot Media and FreakZone games have released a PS5 version of the Rocky Horror Show Video Game. This new and updated version of The Rocky Horror Show Video Game includes improved cut scenes and gameplay, bug fixes, Playstation Trophies, a “New Game Plus” campaign which unlocks after beating the main game, that includes Audience callouts and lots of surprises. The new update is also available on Steam and Switch.
Designed and developed by Sam Beddoes of FreakZone Games and released on Steam in 2024, The Rocky Horror Show Video Game faithfully recreates scenes and dialogue from the original stage play, allowing players to step into the shoes of Brad, Janet, and Dr. Scott. Each level is meticulously designed to capture the essence of the original sets in a nostalgic 8-bit format. Gameplay combines challenging but rewarding platforming and light combat elements, such as picking up and throwing objects at enemies and other experiments from Dr. Frank N Furter’s laboratory.
“As a longtime fan of The Rocky Horror Show, it was an honor to adapt the legendary musical into a video game,” says designer Sam Beddoes. “Now both new fans and veterans can enjoy a whole new take on the story and music in crunchy 8-bit goodness.”
In addition to the Video Game, Bit Bot Media recently launched the Kickstarter campaign for the first officially licensed original Rocky Horror graphic novel. Bride of Rocky Horror is a full-color, 95-page extravaganza by GLAAD Media and Eisner Award-nominated writer Magdalene Visaggio (Girlmode), artist Noemi Vettori (X-Men Unlimited), colorist Josh Rodriguez (Credit tk), letterer Jeremiah Lambert (Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise) , and Bram Stoker Award-winning cover artist Soo Lee (Carmilla). In Bride of Rocky Horror, Janet Weiss has embraced a life of decadence and debauchery. But when a mysterious invitation draws her back into the orbit of her ex-fiancé Brad Majors, a new mystery unfolds. Who is the enigmatic Bridget Von Frankenstein? What secrets is Brad hiding? And is it, once again, time for the Time Warp?
These additions to the Rocky Horror saga will be published by Bit Bot Media, a new, cutting-edge multimedia company from Klayton (Celldweller/Scandroid), the multifaceted musician known for his contributions to major motion pictures, TV, and video games including Transformers, Malignant, and Killer Instinct, and Denver Post bestselling writer Joshua Viola (Soul Reaver, True Believers).
