Mere weeks before JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL is set to land in theaters, Bandai Namco has unleashed an official launch trailer for Jumanji: The Video Game! When the interactive adventure begins, players will be offered a chance to step into the roles of characters made famous by the 2017 smash-hit JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE.

Naturally, the trailer is narrated by Jumanji's own mission-giving NPC, Nigel (Rhys Darby), who informs players about being given the chance to save the breathtakingly-beautiful yet dangerous world of Jumanji. For the game, players will traverse snow-capped mountains, a scorching city, and of course, a steamy jungle filled with enemies. The beat-em-up action adventure game also lets you control all of your favorite Jumanji characters, including Dr. Smolder Bravestone, Ruby Roundhouse, Professor Sheldon "Shelly" Oberon, and Franklin "Mouse" Finbar.

Jumanji: The Video Game allows for up to 4-player split-screen co-op, or you can brave the challenges alone alongside AI companions. Throughout your journey, you'll encounter vicious beasts, malicious marauders, and more deadly traps than you can handle. The game also features a host of customization options and unlockables, adding to the interactive adventure's replay value.

Of course, the release of Jumanji: The Video Game is all a part of hype for the release of JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL.
