You know those folks over at Jackbox Games, right? They’ve gone and dropped the news about this new thing called Doominate, their latest brainchild for the Jackbox Party Pack 11. And yeah, they’re working on it for the Nintendo Switch, which is, well, kind of all the rage these days.
So picture this: it’s a game brewed from chaos, where you basically mess with other people’s ideas. Seriously, it’s like you start with something sweet or wholesome, then lol, just wreck it, but in a funny way. Ever had those moments where you throw a twist into a joke and everyone ends up laughing—or maybe cringing? Yeah, that’s basically the groove here.
And here’s a little nugget: players are supposed to keep twisting each other’s joke prompts, pitting the resulting madness against each other. In the end, everyone votes. It’s like a comedy duel—who’s got the funniest or the most “ouch” twist wins. Fun, right? Or at least hilarious, if you’ve had that kind of humor.
But wait—there’s a light at the end of this chaotic tunnel. Before things wrap up, you get this chance to pull a redemption move. Like, take a wrecked idea and add a little sugar back to it. Try to build something meaningful from all that chaos. Good luck with that… not a task for the faint-hearted!
Oh, and game director Brooke Breit says you can totally roll with Doominate whether you’re with your crazy-close friends or some random crowd. Doesn’t even matter. It’s either inside jokes galore or a crash course on who people really are when they’re, you know, destructively creative. Something about giggling with others while you tear things apart, I guess. Go figure!
Mark your calendars—or don’t, if you’re like me and forget dates anyway—but come Fall 2025, Jackbox Party Pack 11 will slide into the Nintendo eShop. It’ll run you £24.99, which is like $29.99 if you’re trading pounds for dollars in your head right now.
Guess that wraps it up, or maybe not—oh, hey, there’s a trailer floating around somewhere if you’re into those.
