The project is developed by Woodpile and published by Maximum Entertainment. It is designed specifically for the PC platform and will be distributed through Steam. The game functions as a scavenger simulator where the primary environment is a cluttered film production facility. Players must navigate this space to locate and organize various items from different film genres.
Hollywood Hustle features a physics-driven engine that governs how props interact with the player and the environment. The core gameplay loop involves sorting items from fantasy epics, sitcoms, and science-fiction blockbusters. Players must fulfill specific orders by boxing and shipping these props to film sets. The game also includes mechanics for selling remaining items and resurrecting old animatronics to assist with tasks.
The simulation includes a helper robot and resurrected animatronics that aid in the cleanup process. These elements add layers of complexity to the sorting and shipping objectives. The game is scheduled for a global release on PC via Steam in 2027. No specific pricing information has been provided for this launch window.
