Francis Ford Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" is being developed into a video game. He has partnered with some developers to make the video game.

According to a report, "Apocalypse Now" which was a film starred by Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen and Robert Duvall in 1979 is now being developed into a video game. The American Zoetorpe, which is an American Studio founded by Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas, is working on the game.

Coppola shares that the project for the "Apocalypse Now" video game will be a medium in telling stories. He adds that he is excited in exploring the new venture and believes that video games are a unique way in getting the story to the audience.

Reportedly, a team has launched a Kickstarter campaign in order for the video game to materialize. The developers of this video game for "Apocalypse Now" are working hard to have a narrative style of game.

Additionally, the game is set to the psychosis during the Vietnam War. The team is also looking at raising $900,000 for the "Apocalypse Now" video game. This amount will be raised by the end of February and will be enough to pay for all the production cost.

Meanwhile, the film is already 40 years old and has been a personal project of Coppola. It has been about the Vietnam War and has been a cinematic classic. In the latest project for "Apocalypse Now" video game, Coppola gathered developers and designers to make this a possibility.

This is a big project for the team and is an ambitious one but Coppola has given the nod to go on with the development. There is no specific date as of this time for the "Apocalypse Now" video game's release. It also is too early to tell that but a report indicates a possible October 2020 release.
