It's slime time

Slime Rancher, inš¦¹die developer Moš§nomi Park’s slimetastic 2017 hit, is being made into a movie.
As per , the game – which sees players control young rancher Beatrix LeBeau as she wrangles slimes a thousand light years from Earth – is being adapted by Story Kitchen, the production company founded by 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:John Wick writer and creator Derek Kolstad.
Little else is known about the project – including whether it’s an animated affair or a bizarro live-action take on the cutesy sandbox series – but itꦬ’s sure to intrigue those who fell in love with the slimes in the first place.
Slime Rancher is currently one of the highest-rated games on Steam, garnering almost 100,000 reviews and sitting at an Overwhelmingly Positive rating. Steam aggregator alą·“so has it as the 19th-highest rated game on the platform, sitting pretty ahead of the likes of Counter-Strike.
Kolstad’s Kitchen Company is busy elsewhere in the video game space. They’re currently 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:involved in adaptations of Sifu and Toejam and Earl. Kolꩲstad is also attached to Streets of Rage, Hitman, and Just Cause.
The news also follows on from three hugely successful video game movie adaptations. Of course, The 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:Super Mario Bros. Movie crushed the competition this year, grossing north of $1 billion. Previous years also saw 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:Uncharted and 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:Sonic the Hedgehog 2 takešø in over $400m at the box office. Audiences, it seems, are warming up to their favoš“rite properties making the leap from consoles to cinema.
