Microsoft and Rare have been teasing the return of the Battletoads across a variety of projects over the years, including a re-release of the original game in Rare Replay, a guest appearance in Shovel Knight, and Rash’s wrasslin’ debut in Killer Instinct.
And that all lead up to yesterday’s announcement of a brand new Battletoads game at the Xbox E3 Briefing.
The game will be co-developed by Rare and DLaLa Studios, and it sounds like everything you could want from a modern Battletoads game. It’ll feature “Body Morphing Genre Mash-Ups,” as well as three-player local co-op, and a hand-drawn 2.5D art style. Support for 4K resolution visuals will also be included.
Battletoads will be released sometime in 2019 for the PC and Xbox One.
