A new Earthworm Jim game is being developed by the series' original team.
The new game will be produced by ten of the original programmers, artists, audio team, and level designers. The full line-up of returning members has yet to be formally announced, but it is presumably made up of Doug TenNapel, David Perry, Tommy Tallarico, Nick Bruty, Mike Dietz, Tom Tanaka and Joey Kuras; the original Earthworm Jim dev team.
This new game will be released exclusively for the Intellivision Amico, a new console due for release in October 2020 that acts as a sort of ‘remaster’ of the classic 1980s console. Tommy Tallarico, the composer and sound designer for the original two Earthworm Jim games, is the CEO and President of Intellivision Entertainment.
The first look at Earthworm Jim will come as part of a livestream being held on Saturday, May 4 at noon PT (8pm UK, 5am AEST), in which the team will hold a design meeting and discuss their vision.
“We have been talking about this moment for many years, it’s a dream come true to finally get the entire team back together. We’re looking forward to sharing a small part of our reunion and initial design meeting with fans from around the world,” said Tommy Tallarico in a press release.
