Paris, October 29, 2020 – Based on the world-famous TV show, the game Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? is now available in Europe on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. It will release on November 17th, 2020 in North America. Put your knowledge and your mind to the test by sitting comfortably in the contestant’s chair from the famous TV set!
The game features 6 iconic TV sets, as seen in the British, American, French, Spanish, Italian and German version of the show. An adapted translation is available for each of these countries as well as exclusive questions per territory: enough to dive into the show as if you were there in person!
Will you be capable of winning the million-dollar question? In order to achieve that, you’ll have to reach the top of the well-known and intimidating moneytree by answering – without fail! – a series of 15 increasingly harder questions.
Your general knowledge will be put to the test with more than 3,000 questions – including 2,000+ being territory exclusives – split into 8 diverse categories such as History, Sport, Science, Art & Literature… You can also choose to play without certain categories in order to focus on your preferred topics. You’ll even unlock more questions as you play!
Of course, the game features the famous lifelines such as Phone a Friend, 50-50, Switch the Question and more to help you in your quest!
