Original: ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove has been hit by another delay. After it was most recently slated for this fall, the game has been pushed back to early 2019.

Director Greg Johnson shared the following today:

ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove still doesn’t have a release date. However, there is one thing we do know: there will be a physical version.

Limited Run announced the physical release today. Fans at PAX West can celebrate the news by picking up a commemorative Genesis case.

ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove launches later this year.

We finally have an update on ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove, which was delayed several months ago. HumaNature Studios has announced a planned fall launch for the game.

HumaNature Studios has also decided to part ways with publisher Adult Swim Games under mutual terms. Instead, the developer will be self-publishing. ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove is nearly ready for certification on Switch, so it isn’t too far off.

Adult Swim Games has released a new trailer for ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove. Unfortunately, the video shows that it’s now coming next year instead of in 2017. View today’s trailer below.

ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove still has a long ways to go until it’s finished. Development itself is coming to a close, but the team needs to deal with “a lot of porting and debugging”. As of now, it’s targeted for the fall.

Humanature Studios passed along the release window as part of a new Kickstarter update today. It was also accompanied by these screenshots:
