The popular open-world sandbox game Wobbly Life is being adapted for film and television. The UK-based independent developer Rubber Band Games has partnered with Prime Universe Films to bring the game to a broader audience. This collaboration marks an exciting expansion for the game, which has grown significantly since its launch in 2020.

Partnership Details and Expectations

The studio’s CEO, Adrian Askarieh, who is also the executive producer of the upcoming Hitman television series, expressed enthusiasm about the project. He stated, “[Wobbly Life]’s meteoric growth shows the strength of the universe and I’m excited to work with RubberBandGames to bring it into film and television.”

Askarieh emphasized that the game’s unique tone, identity, and characters are well-suited for storytelling across multiple formats. The partnership was initially announced in 2017 with IO Interactive, setting the stage for this development.

Wobbly Life’s Journey and Community Impact

Wobbly Life began as a one-person indie project, but it has since blossomed into a global franchise, selling over 2.8 million units worldwide. The game has attracted a total of 6 million players across all platforms. In 2025, player engagement surpassed 60 million hours, reflecting its popularity and community-driven success.

According to Tom Dunn, founder of Rubber Band Games, the community has been pivotal to the game’s success. “From day one, the success of Wobbly Life has been driven by the community,” Dunn remarked. “The team and I have been blown away by the huge growth this year, and we’re thrilled to see Wobbly Life take its first steps into film and TV.
