It’s the megaton announcement you’ve been waiting for: a new SpongeBob title for all Nintendo platforms. “SpongeBob SquarePants: Plankton’s Robotic Revenge” will be available for the Wii U, Wii, 3DS, DS, along with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this fall.

An official overview from Activision reads:

SpongeBob SquarePants: Plankton’s Robotic Revenge is a third-person, co-op gaming adventure, developed by Behaviour Interactive, which combines exploration, adventure and puzzle-solving. In this original story, Sheldon J. Plankton – known for his obsession with stealing the Krusty Krab’s secret formula – and his new legion of evil robots have destroyed the Krusty Krab and stolen the safe that houses the famous Krabby Patty formula. Fans can choose to play as SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, Sandy or Mr. Krabs as they try to locate the hidden keys to the safe before the Krabby Patty formula is lost forever.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Plankton’s Robotic Revenge launches on October 22.
