ALBAWABA - The popular horror game, Phasmophobia, which took the gaming world by storm on release after introducing a new mechanic that allowed players to contact ghosts using their microphone, is officially getting a feature film, developed by horror giant, Blumhouse Productions.

A social media user wrote in excitement, "Blumhouse + Phasmophobia = a match made in horror heaven!"
Another added, "If I don't hear the main character say, 'Are you here, are you close? Are you pizza?' I'm not watching."
The game launched on Valve's Steam store in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when many people were stuck at home. Its popularity surged thanks to its innovative co-op system, which let friends socialize through voice chat while exploring haunted locations and encountering paranormal entities.
According to Variety, the game sold more than 23 million copies globally and won the "Best Debut Game" at The Game Awards in 2020.
This film marks Blumhouse's second live-action adaptation of a popular horror game franchise, with its first being Five Nights at Freddy's, which, despite its mixed reviews, grossed $297.2 million worldwide in contrast to its $20 million budget.

Additionally, it is encircled by a tall fence and abundant vegetation. On the other hand, the criminals made their getaway after "disturbing its contents and stealing multiple items," as said in a statement released by the police. Although the investigation is still underway, the authorities have not yet determined the nature or worth of the things that were stolen, nor have they identified the individuals who committed the theft. The occurrence occurred at the same time that Pitt was in London for the premiere of his newest picture, F1, within the European continent. Alongside him, Tom Cruise and Lewis Hamilton, the reigning Formula One world champion, promoted the picture, which is due to be released in theaters on June 27. He also made an appearance in the film. During the promotional tour, Brad Pitt gave an interview to the media and addressed the following question: "I've been wondering lately: Do I still have stories to tell? Is there anything else that I can impart to you? Is there anything or anyone that I'm still looking forward to? He concluded by saying, "[This film] has given me that passion again." In the city of Los Angeles, such an incident is not the first instance of its kind to occur. There have been recent instances of burglaries committed against the residences of several celebrities, including Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. After breaking into the gate of Jennifer Aniston's home while she was married to Brad Pitt, a man was taken into custody and charged with stalking and damage. The incident occurred one month ago.
