Are you ready to bring home the funk? ToeJam & Earl are back and today we hear more info about the next game in the series.
Coming to consoles and PC later this year, (we would think it is safe to say Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch versions are on the cards), ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove is the fourth entry in the funkadelic action roguelike series.
Whilst full details are slightly thin on the ground, Greg Johnson, founder of HumaNature Studios, has issued the following statement providing a more exact release window and an update on the developer’s relationship with Adult Swim Games.
“We ARE releasing this year!! Right now we have our sights set on a fall release. We will be making a specific release plan announcement in regards to dates as soon as we have that nailed down.
Going forward Adult Swim Games is no longer going to be our publisher. Instead we are going back to self-publishing! Adult Swim Games has some other big titles they plan to launch this summer so when Back in the Groove pushed back, we both agreed that it made sense for them to hand us the reigns, rather than taking a chance on this getting pushed back any more. Also I’d like to say how deeply grateful I and all of us here at HNS are to Adult Swim Games. We wouldn’t have gotten this game to this point without them…seriously. Thank You Adult Swim!!
We are also going to be opening a closed beta within the next couple weeks for our early-access backers, and we’ll be looking for your feedback! Also, the Nintendo Switch version of the game is just about ready to be submitted for certification by Nintendo, and the other console versions are not too far behind. I’ll give you more details about all of this before this update is done.”
So, later this year we’ll get the chance to head on into the world of ToeJam & Earl once more, with a self-published title that will no doubt ooze with love.
Keep an eye out for more info as and when we have it. The fun little trailer should sort you out for now though.
