But after two hits and two flops, the long-suffering history of Earthworm Jim had barely begun.Ģ2 years have passed without a new game in this franchise, though not for lack of trying. Remasters and rereleases have seen the light of day, but fans awaiting a sequel have been on an emotional rollercoaster for years.

A new game in the franchise was announced in 2006, reported near done by 2007, and firmly canceled later that year. This was part of the larger catastrophe in the game industry which resulted from the long slow death of Atari, who acquired and eventually sold off Shiny. At long last, in 2019, a new Earthworm Jim was announced by much of the original team behind the first two games. Alas, that ill-fated project was set to be an exclusive launch for Intellivision Amico, a console that has been pushed back time and time again, most recently in August with no announced release date. The light in the darkness for this franchise finally came, in the form of the recently dropped animated trailer.Įarthworm Jim also had a cartoon series in his heyday, running two seasons from 1995 to 1996. The series saw Jim portrayed by Dan Castellaneta, and the show as a whole was created by TenNapel. This show is fondly remembered, contributing in large part to the character's enduring popularity, even through the dark days of his later games and total silence. In fact, Jim's third and fourth games were at least partially inspired by the show's new additions to the series. The show, like the games, was notable for its sense of humor and satire of video game cartoons. Its meta style was new at the time, but the new series seems to have a more modern take on the idea. Who has Interplay tapped to create this foray back into the animated world? The animation studio on deck is Passion Pictures.

Passion has a wide variety of expertise, being in the production industry since 1987. They are credited with producing some of the modern era's greatest music videos specifically multiple masterworks in collaboration with world-famous powerhouse Gorillaz. They are also well-known for their contributions to both seasons of Love, Death, and Robots.
