Jackbox Games has finally announced the release date for The Jackbox Party Pack 11, and it’s coming on October 23rd.
On top of that, a new gameplay trailer has been released to celebrate. That’s not all, however, as the game will be playable early at EGX / MCM Comic Con at London’s Excel between October 24th and October 26th.
“This is the first Party Pack in years with no sequels, and that creative freedom really shines through,” said Rich Gallup, Director of Production and Pack Lead on The Jackbox Party Pack 11. “Each game began as a bold idea and grew through playtesting, collaboration, and a lot of laughter. Whether you’re recording the perfect goat bleat, interrogating your friends, slaying monsters with your wits, writing ruinous jokes, or decorating cookies for a stressed-out bakery boss, there’s something here for every kind of player.”
Here’s some of the details on the five brand new titles within the game:
- Work with your party to fight fantasy monsters in a cooperative trivia battle called Legends of Trivia.
- Investigate a crime and defend your innocence in a social deduction game called Suspectives, where every player is on trial.
- Ruin wholesome scenarios and compete head‑to‑head in Doominate, a hilarious joke‑writing game.
- Record custom sound effects and watch them come to life in a sound‑based party game called Hear Say.
- Create cookie designs based on bizarre prompts in a cozy drawing game called Cookie Haus that might leave you hungry.
There will also be a chance to try Doominate and Hearsay as part of the Xbox Indie Demo Fest which has just started, and runs until September 23rd.
We spoke to the brains behind Hear Say back in July, and Creative Director Alina Constantin told us: “It was incredibly goofy and exciting from the start. We’re always looking to add novelty to how folks use phones in our games, so looking for a range of satisfying things for players to do using microphones as input was key. It also tapped into something primal in how people have fun with media.”
The Jackbox Party Pack 11 is coming on October 23rd.
