Escape Room: Tournament Of Champions Arrives On Digital Next Week, Followed By Blu-Ray Next Month
Sony has revealed the home video release dates for "Escape Room: Tournament of Champions." The horror sequel, which was filled with deadly games just like its predecessor, was released in theaters earlier this summer. It performed reasonably well, all things considered. But for those who didn't make it out to a theater back in July, fear not. It will be available from the comfort of your couch sooner rather than later. And we're getting an extended cut!
"Tournament of Champions" will be available through digital retailers on September 21, 2021, before making its way to Blu-ray/DVD on October 5, 2021, just in time for the Halloween season. Per Sony, the extended cut "reveals the masterminds behind Minos and features even more deadly escape rooms with over 25 minutes of all-new footage!" To tee that up, they have released a brief clip from the longer cut. Check it out.
Escape Room: Tournament of Champions Extended Cut Scene
As we can see, the clip gives us a behind-the-scenes look into the shady organization that is Minos. The entity behind these deadly games is powerful, overflowing with resources, and has a wide reach. What we don't see much of in either movie is how this all comes together, and this clip provides a window into the inner workings. We are likely to get even more of that once the Blu-ray arrives, given that we're getting 25 minutes of new footage. Perhaps that will serve as a primer for "Escape Room 3." Assuming there is one.
Escape Room: Tournament of Champions Bonus Features
Sony also revealed the bonus features that will be included. Save for the added footage, the extras on this one are a bit slim. But there are a few featurettes to dive into.
