Clive ‘N’ Wrench now set for February 2023 launch, new trailer

Publisher Numskull Games and developer Dinosaur Bytes Studio shared an update on Clive ‘N’ Wrench today, confirming that the 3D platformer will debut in February 2023. A specific date was not provided.

Further information is available in the following overview:

Clive ‘N’ Wrench is a brilliantly crafted 3D platforming paradise full of challenges, collectables, and charismatic characters. Starring Clive the rabbit and best friend Wrench, the monkey on his back, players will jump, roll, hover, and spin their way through time and space in a magical 1950’s refrigerator, on a heroic quest to thwart the tyrannical Dr Daucus.

Players will adventure through the prehistoric ice age in Iceceratops, to ancient Egypt in Tempus Tombs, and even across the Wild West in 11 distinct levels each with its own boss battles with varying difficulties. Clive ‘N’ Wrench has been tailored for both experienced players and newcomers alike.

Inspired by genre classics like Spyro the Dragon and Jak & Daxter, Clive ‘N’ Wrench began its journey back in 2011 by sole developer and superfan, Rob Wass. Off the back of designing maps for Epic Games’ Unreal Tournament and creating entire towns in Rockstar’s early 3D GTA’s (III, Vice City and San Andreas), Rob has used his industry knowledge and love for 3D platformers to shape the look, feel and animation of each move in the game’s diverse skill set.

Creator and lead developer Rob Wass said the following in light of today’s news: “Clive ‘N’ Wrench has been a huge part of my life over the past 10 years. This project has been a real labor of love for me. I’m beyond excited for everyone to get their hands on Clive ‘N’ Wrench when it launches early next year.”

Clive ‘N’ Wrench will be sold both physically and digitally on Switch. A collector’s edition is in the works that comes with a copy of the game, the soundtrack, exclusive character cards, a fridge magnet, and a full color manual. All physical copies include a mini-booklet which includes a breakdown of the duo’s special moves.
