Interplay, Douglas TenNapel to bring Earthworm Jim 4 - Image 1


Interplay Entertainment is fulfilling its promises of sequels and remakes, and they've teamed up with Douglas TenNapel, the original creator of Earthworm Jim, to plan a huge comeback for the memorable platforming hero. And part of the plan includes a new title in the series currently plated as Earthworm Jim 4.

As of press time, Interplay's official announcement via press wire could only divulge that Earthworm Jim is to be relaunched together with a whole new TV series and an entire feature film revolving around the cybernetically-enhanced earthworm.

TenNapel will serve as creative consultant to Interplay's relaunched in-house development teams, while spearheading the next TV series and feature film. And given that Interplay was behind the creation of some of gaming history's most iconic game franchises, there's a lot of anticipation (and hope) that they'd do just as well today.

Now while the game specifics are as rare as hen's teeth, we do know that the earlier releases of Shiny Entertainment's Earthworm Jim touched almost every console available during their time, so expect more of the same today. We're currently looking for more updates, so keep tuned in folks.

I'm glad for Interplay. They deserve money. I'll buy this game even when I don't like it, just so the dream of Interplay being able to bring back Fallout can remain a possibility....

It's a movie tie-in, it'll probably suck. I love Earthworm Jim though. I got all the TV episodes, and I'll be buying the virtual console versions of 1&2, cause I can't use the roms I use for my PSP on the Wii.

I hope it's good. I've been waiting for a EJ remake, but a movie tie-in....
