After 20 years of dormancy, iconic video game super hero Earthworm Jim is making his return to the popular zeitgeist in a major way. What at first appeared to be a slow roll out of multiple projects over the next 15 months has turned into an unexpected frenzy as the first new venture has broken crowdfunding records, and elevated already high expectations.
Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution launches summer 2025 on modern platforms—20 years after its original development was shelved.
Glad they didn't change the art style. This is looking good.. Why did they change the way the characters look anyway? The very first style was kind of ok, it was fine by Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse.. both in game sprite and the dialogue popups, why keep changing it? I am not as fussed on her newer look. She's looking kinda too dark or sunburnt now.
Today, Marvelous Entertainment announced its financial results for the fiscal year that ended on March 31, 2025.
Sawaki Takeyasu said it was in development in fall of last year but haven’t heard anything since. Hopefully it’s still coming
Senior Art Director Gavin Whelan Talks about the game with Skewed and Reviewed at PAX East.
Maybe I'm reading too much into this quote, "can serve as the foundation for future CGI movies, toys and animated series so that we can reestablish Earthworm Jim as a pillar of the pantheon of family-friendly characters in entertainment, across multiple industry platforms." but if I'm readying it correctly the future looks bright for Earthworm Jim and hopefully a new game will come out on the next generation of consoles too.
Please make more games
Yuuuuusssss 😁
Great I.P too bad the creator is a piece of shit
