Play'n GO pays tribute to horror movies of the '80s with new title The Wild Class

It’s the class of ’83, three senior undergrads, Jess, Mike, and Chris are harboring a terrifying secret, at the stroke of midnight, they shapeshift into hungry werewolves. Can they keep from preying on their classmates before the sun begins to rise?

The Wild Class is set on a haunted amusement park backdrop with the full moon ever-present. Jess, Mike, and Chris appear on the grid, taking on the classic aesthetic of senior grad students in the ’80s that’s present in movies such as Teen Wolf, the cheerleader the football captain, and the bookish student.

Like Play’n GO’s Saxon, this game features simple stacked symbol mechanics where characters appear on the reels. The mechanics complement the theme of the characters as they shapeshift into werewolves, symbols have the potential to transform into extra Wilds.

Head of Games, Charlotte Miliziano, said: “We wanted to add another Halloween-type title to our portfolio as Happy Halloween was released in 2015. ’80s films like A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th are making the rounds on Netflix, so we thought it was about time to add another spooky slot to our repertoire. Plus, we’re big fans of ’80s music.”
