A movie adaptation of indie game The Exit 8 is in production, and it’ll come out some time in 2025. Toho has uploaded a short trailer onto its YouTube channel.
You can watch the trailer for the The Exit 8 movie here:
It features a very familiar subway station, as well as a very familiar middle-aged man. A creepy child-like voice reads out the rules for the game. Then, at the end, we see the same middle-aged man and same hallway. There’s no information on the plot or characters for the film adaptation in this trailer, as it’s only giving a basic idea of what the story is about for those who might not be familiar with the source material.
The Exit 8 is an walking simulator and puzzle game that came out in late 2023. The point of the game is to try and escape a never-ending subway station, turning back when you notice any abnormalities in your surroundings. It achieved popularity through word of mouth, as well as multiple streamers who uploaded themselves playing the game throughout 2024. A sequel, Platform 8, came out in 2024 with a similar premise. Kotake Create, the developer, stated that he doesn’t plan on making any more in this genre, and he’s working on an action game instead.
The Exit 8 is on the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC
