ToeJam & Earl Back in the Groove Coming Fall 2018
SAN FRANCISCO - JUNE 28, in the year of our Lord 2018
- ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove, the upcoming fourth entry
of the beloved, funkadelic action roguelike series, releases
later this year on consoles and PC. Greg Johnson, founder,
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.”
