Fort Boyard: New Edition seeing North American physical release as Escape Game: Fort Boyard

I have to admit, this one is pretty surprising. Fort Boyard: New Edition seeing release in Europe made perfect sense, as the game is adaptation of a French game show. Here in the states, hardly anyone has any idea what Fort Boyard is. That isn't stopping Microids from bringing the game to North America anyway, and they're even giving it a physical release.

According to a retailer listing, Fort Boyard: New Edition is coming to North America as Escape Game: Fort Boyard. The listing shows a July 7th, 2020, which might end up being placeholder. As we wait for confirmation on that, check out full details on the game below.

Beat all the Trials to escape the format with the treasure! You will need all of your endurance and dexterity to escape an old format lost in the sea by passing all its obstacles and beating the trial. Team up with your friends or family, and gather all the clues and keys to solve the final enigma. Be careful! If you don't make it out in time, you will be imprisoned!
