Plot

Main article: Level Up (film)

After high schoolers Wyatt (Gaelan Connell), Lyle (Jessie T. Usher), Dante (Connor del Rio) and Angie (Aimee Carrero) unwittingly open a portal from a video game called Conqueror of All Worlds into the real world, characters from the game and the Internet start leaking into the real world. The group now finds themselves balancing their everyday lives with the extraordinary things that show up in their town. It will have comedy elements. Jagex and Rooster Teeth were brought in as consultants.

Synopsis

Four very different high school teenagers – Wyatt, Dante, Lyle, and Angie – accidentally open a portal from the virtual world to the real world, wreaking havoc on their entire neighborhood. The boys are top gamers in their favorite online game Conqueror of All Worlds. They’ve defeated trolls, squashed barbarians, annihilated ghouls, and trashed everything else the game can throw at them. But when their online foes come to real life, these typical teens must “level up” in order to deal with high school life while protecting their town.
