Microids announced today the return of the Joe & Mac franchise with Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja, coming in 2022 to PC and consoles.
The new version of the game, according to French publisher Microids, is being developed by Mr. Nutz Studio (known for Toki, Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All!).
Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja “will invite players to go back to the Prehistoric Age and embody Prehistoric Men, ready to do anything to save the women of their tribe.”
It’s more than just a remake of the arcade title, Microids said. Players will be able to play the original adventure mode “containing brand new levels.”
“It’s a real honor to offer gamers the chance to rediscover these characters that marked their generation. We have full confidence in Mr. Nutz Studio to bring these little prehistoric men back to life” said Stéphane Longeard, Microids CEO.
“We have full confidence in Microids and Mr. Nutz Studio capability to develop this remake of Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja. It’s a real pleasure to see these iconic video game characters revived with today’s technology,” said Tosuke Matsuoka, Data East License Producer from G-MODE Corporation. “It’s been a long time since we’ve seen these two characters, and their return will delight old fans and new players alike.”
The 2D platform game originally developed and published by Data East (1976-2003) made its debut at the arcades in 1991.
