Puppet Master video game gets an Open Beta release in March of 2023

Just over a year ago, it was announced that October Games and Full Moon Features were teaming up for a multiplayer PC video game based on Full Moon’s popular Puppet Master series. A game that would be free to play, and was expected to be released sometime in 2022. They didn’t make that hoped-for release window, but now October Games has confirmed that the Puppet Master video game will be receiving an Open Beta release on March 1, 2023!

The Puppet Master video game is coming along slightly later than intended because the developers decided to go ahead and add a single player mode to the game. The multiplayer side of things has been their main focus, but now a single player sandbox game is in the mix as well. Single player mode is called Toulon’s Journals, and will allow players to complete challenges, fight bad guys, earn experience points, and find the lost pages of puppet master Andre Toulon’s journal.

The journal pages dive into the back stories of franchise characters and were written by Nat Brehmer, author of the book Puppet Master Complete: A Franchise History (pick up a copy HERE). These journals will be unlockable through audio log form in the single player mode, so you’ll be able to listen to them as you play. And listen to them again later at your own convenience, outside of the single player mode.

In the new developer vlog, it was also confirmed that there will be multiplayer bot support for the human characters as of March 1st. So players will be able to play as the puppets, battling human bots. There’s also a game mode called Thief Game, where a player will be able to play as a human, taking on three puppets while seeking to steal the puppet master’s formula.

In the Puppet Master video game, you’ll be able to play as your favorite Puppet Master character while revisiting iconic locations such as the Bodega Bay Inn.

Are you looking forward to the Puppet Master video game? Let us know by leaving a comment below – and if you are looking forward to it, you can wishlist the game on Steam. I have been a fan of the Puppet Master movies since I was a kid, so I’m excited to play the game in 2023.
