Battletoads
Release: 2020
Zitz, Rash and Pimple are back, 26 years since their last full-blown adventure! In more recent years they've been shouldering their way back into the public consciousness: players of Killer Instinct's third season and the Xbox One version of Shovel Knight will all have run into 'Toads itching for a scrap, while a couple of the gang's greatest old-school adventures were served up to a brand new audience in 2015's Rare Replay collection.
And now it's time to send the Battletoads on a brand new mission, teased at E3 2018 with the first gameplay trailer dropping at E3 2019, followed by a release date announcement of August 20th, 2020. Dlala Studios developed the game with assistance from Rare, and it delivers all the non-stop couch co-op action that any seasoned series fan would expect.
Two essential elements of Battletoads DNA are its anarchic sense of humour and a constant flow of gameplay variety to break up the beat-'em-up grind, so you can expect much more of that. Also back in business are our heroes' trademark body-morphing abilities, critical for clubbing enemies into submission and now more versatile than ever.
New to the series are a narrative focus backed up by award-winning writers and an attention-grabbing hand-drawn art style that evokes classic Saturday morning cartoons even more boldly than Zitz, Rash and Pimple's original adventures.
There's also something simultaneously new and old to enjoy as a famous gaming gauntlet gets a fresh lick of paint: yes, the Turbo Tunnel returns to put your reflexes through the wringer, and now it's in 3D! You're welcome.
