Jackbox Games CEO On Creating A New Naughty Pack Where The "Sky's The Limit"
29.04.2024 - 19:33 / screenrant.com / Deven McClure
The long-running series is finally delving into more adult themes, announcing their first M-rated project at today's IGN Xbox Showcase. Called the, the new game will explore much less family-friendly humor than typical entries in the franchise. This will mark the first real deviation from the typical formula, save for last year's, which was a compilation of existing fan-favorite minigames.
Since 2014, Jackbox Games has produced 10 mainline entries, each containing a selection of five minigames spanning everything from drawing and trivia to fill-in-the-blank and presentation-giving titles. The new will have only three minigames included, the specifics of which will be revealed this summer. The new game currently doesn't have a set release day, but can be expected some time later this year.
interviewed Jackbox Games CEO Mike Bilder to discuss the creation process behind the, playtesting a game with M-rated humor, and the future of the franchise.
Screen Rant: Can you talk a little bit about how this idea first came about? I know it's something that the fans have been sort of talking about for a while, but was there already also a desire to do this on your guys' end as well?
Mike Bilder: Yeah, it's definitely a little bit of both. We do customer surveys all the time. We obviously watch people play our games and we're pretty connected with our fans. All of our games are rated T for teen, and so for the most part, they're kind of this PG-13 gameplay. But since there's so much user-generated content, people can kind of make it as adult as they want to make it. And in many, many cases, I'm sure if you've played our games, that happens.
And so in surveying our fans and trying to find out what they like about our games, what they would want, what haven't we done that they'd like to see, the idea for an adult pack of games has come up many times, and it's been demanded many times over the years. And so we just kind of put our heads together, «What would that look like? How would we make that? What would a Jackbox Naughty Pack look like? And we got pretty excited about it internally. And so we decided to just do a little bit of departure from the typical five pack of games annually and this year do something a little different.
It doesn't mean we're not going to keep making party games or T-rated party games. We will absolutely continue to do that, and we have more things to share beyond this reveal of things that we're working on. But it's a fun departure and it's been a fun one to make internally as well.
And what was the pitching process like for the games in this pack? Were you really sort of actively encouraging people to push the envelope when it came to the games?
Mike Bilder: Yes. We wanted to do

While the successful series of party titles are typically aimed at a broad audience, featuring games suitable for all ages, it seems as though a lot of players are treating it like a game purely for adults. That's the feedback developer Jackbox Games was getting, anyway, and thus we end up here: Jackbox Naughty Pack.
