About

Buffy Summers makes her console debut in a third-person action game set within the not-so-peaceful town of Sunnydale, CA. As the 17-year-old Chosen One, Buffy must use her heightened strength and agility to defeat vampires, zombies, and other demons attracted to the town's dangerous proximity to a Hellmouth. Based on the UPN television series known for its unusual blend of action, suspense, comedy, and drama, the game takes place around the timeframe of the show's first and second seasons.

What is happening now

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a hack-and-slash action game released on Xbox in 2002, based on the popular television series of the same name. The game follows the show's familiar supernatural combat formula, letting players take on vampires and demons as the iconic slayer. The franchise has faced recent challenges. A planned Buffy reboot was cancelled by Hulu, and that setback has been compounded by the cancellation of an in-development new game, marking another disappointment for fans hoping to see the property revived in interactive form.
