Dungeon Calls Again: Official Knightmare Adventure Set for 2027

Few children's shows from the late 1980s have inspired the kind of affection that Knightmare still gets. The ITV series sent young contestants into a computer-run dungeon full of traps and monsters, with one team member blindfolded and guided through the maze by teammates who could see the map. That mix of nerves, teamwork and spooky atmosphere has kept it alive long after its original run ended, and fans have been waiting for a proper follow-up.

Now a new game is on the way. An officially licensed Knightmare title is in development and is due next year, which means the rights holders have signed off on the project rather than leaving it to fan tributes. The game is described as a free point-and-click adventure, a genre that suits the show's puzzle-driven format. Rather than reenacting the broadcast, a point-and-click design lets players explore a dungeon at their own pace, examine objects and work out how to get past each obstacle.

The announcement, as reported, is short on specifics. It does not give a platform list, a developer name or a firm release window beyond "next year," so those details will be worth watching for. Free-to-play or free-to-download adventures can reach a wide audience quickly, and a nostalgia title built on a cult name could draw in both the people who remember the show and younger players who have never seen it.

For now, the news is simple: Knightmare is back in development as an official game, and the dungeon doors are set to open again in 2027.
