Good news! RuPaul’s Drag Race: Dragopolis 2.0 is on its way! The sequel to the highly addictive, over-the-top smash hit video game will play differently than the original incarnation. The new game will have more puzzle elements, similar to Peggle. In this version, Apocalypstyck returns and steals the gowns, wigs and accessories from RuPaul’s museum. Players have to help RuPaul retrieve what Apocalypstyck stole by completing puzzles. The game will launch with 45 levels and, as players complete each challenge, they will collect pieces of clothing or accessories. “It’s very fashion-forward,” says So Much Drama Studios’ founder Jeff Meado.
From his interview with Polygon:
Dragopolis is over-the-top and camp, much like RuPaul’s Drag Race. The team of six developers at So Much Drama Studios has tried to capture the spirit of drag by inserting elements of drag culture at every turn. The loading screen, for example, doesn’t use the word “loading” — it says “tucking.” The development team has also been careful in the way they represent the queens.
“If you watch RuPaul’s Drag Race, You probably have your favorite queen from the show, and you can probably describe in detail the outfits they’ve worn or the things they’ve said,” Meador said. “You feel like you’re connected to them. There is a very tight connection between the fans and the queens who appear on the show. So that’s something we had to be very, very careful with.”
The studio is currently recording voice-overs with the queens [Alaska, JuJube, Sharon, Jinkx, Ongina, and Shangela]. The game still has to undergo further testing, but Meador is hopeful that the drag community will enjoy it and that it might reach people who never knew about drag culture before.
“Maybe we’ll introduce a new audience to RuPaul’s Drag Race, and maybe we’ll reach people who are like, ‘Oh my god, I never knew that’s what drag was,’” he said.
And as for the queens themselves?
“They love it,” Meador said. “They think it’s really, really hysterical.”
