Earthworm Jim

A new Earthworm Jim game made by the original team “almost happened”. So says Nick Bruty, the main designer of the first game.

Bruty shared in a Reddit AMA yesterday that the possibility of making a new Earthworm Jim title was explored roughly five years ago. However, a deal with the IP owners couldn’t be agreed upon.

Bruty wrote:

“A new EWJ game with the original team almost happened about five years ago, but a deal with the [intellectual property] owners couldn’t get worked out. I think everyone would be up for it sometime. Feels like unfinished business, but [it’s] hard to align everyone. I wouldn’t do it without the key players.”

Bruty also commented on a few other Earthworm Jim topics that we’ve rounded up below.

A rather interesting reward tier has been added to the Boogerman 20th Anniversary Kickstarter. Those who pledge $40 or more will receive access to a new two-player co-op mode featuring Earthworm Jim. Exclusive levels and a t-shirt are also included as part of the pledge.
