‘Still Wakes the Deep’ Arrives June 18 on Consoles, PC [Trailer]


It’s hard to imagine Killer Klowns from Outer Space without the iconic theme song from The Dickies, and it’s for that reason that we had been assuming the upcoming Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game would prominently feature the classic track. Unfortunately, The Dickies have taken to Facebook today to let us know that’s not going to be the case.

Michael Pilmer writes on behalf of the band, “Hey Dickies Fans worldwide. Got some gnarly news to share, a true bummer: THE DICKIES’ Killer Klowns from Outer Space theme song won’t be in upcoming Killer Klowns Video Game. Yeah, makes ya feel a bit gutted. Like a total slap in the face after all the love and loyalty fans have given that song for 36 years.”

“The band really appreciates that you’ve rocked out with them at their club dates, and really dug that the song was featured at Universal Studios’ Horror nights! It’s like they’re f*cking with the Killer Klowns‘ heart and soul,” the official statement continues. “Keep the Klowns connection alive! Let your voices rip online. That rad song belongs in the game! THE DICKIES send their thanks to you for being the most bitchin’ fans around.”

No word yet on why the song won’t be featured in the game, but we’ll keep you posted as we learn more. It’s a bummer, to be sure, but we’re still very excited to get our hands on this one.

UPDATE: 3/22/24 – 8:30pm EST – The Facebook post from The Dickies has been removed, and the team behind the video game has let us know that the song actually WILL be featured in the game. It’s been a weird day. Check out the update below…

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game can be pre-ordered right now from the STEAM Store, PlayStation Store & Xbox Marketplace. The game has full crossplay support.

The game is coming along 36 years after creators the Chiodo Bros. released the cult classic ’80s movie, and the good news here is that the Chiodos are heavily involved in the game.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is a 3v7 asymmetrical multiplayer horror game based on the cult horror classic film. When murderous alien Klowns come to feed on the quiet town of Crescent Cove, the locals must work together to fight back and survive the invasion.

Players can team up as either Klowns or humans, choosing from a variety of character classes, to explore an expansive, ever-changing map with creepy surprises waiting around every corner.

  • Take on the role of the iconic Killer Klowns – cooperate in a team of three players, utilize unworldly abilities, hunt humans with zany weapons, and plan your alien invasion to harvest the population of Crescent Cove successfully.
  • Fight back as a team of seven brave citizens of Crescent Cove – explore the city for valuable loot and weapons, avoid getting captured by Klowns, and try to survive the alien invasion.

Developed by Teravision Games and Illfonic, this playfully panic-inducing action experience faithfully recreates the atmosphere of the iconic movie and aims to stir up the asymmetrical multiplayer horror genre in multiple ways. The game is being developed as a live-service title, with multiple content updates planned for post-launch.
