The Addams Family has been one of my favorite TV franchises of all time, and Rachael loves it too, but there are not many Addams Family games on the market since the end of the Super Nintendo/Genesis era. However, Outright Games is looking to change that by bringing us a new Addams Family game, based on the 2019 animated film, on consoles later in 2021.
‘THE ADDAMS FAMILY: MANSION MAYHEM’ ARRIVES ON CONSOLE AND PC IN 2021

‘Addams Family: Mansion Mayhem’ will be the first Addams Family video game to launch on console since 2001. The ‘Addams Family’s’ timeless appeal has spanned generations with many fans loving the ubiquitous theme song and relating to the diverse cast that makes up the multigenerational family. The franchise, which debuted as a comic strip, has gone on to inspire TV series, movies, comics, toys, and collectibles over its 80+ years of frightful popularity. The family made a return in 2019’s animated ‘The Addams Family’, which featured a star-studded cast and achieved tremendous box office success, earning more than $200M worldwide. A sequel ‘The Addams Family 2’ is anticipated to be released in November 2021.
