Ziggurat Interactive has announced that the acclaimed remake of A Boy and His Blob is making its way to Switch in fall 2021. This is the remake of the David Crane original, done by WayForward for the Wii with hand-drawn visuals that was later ported to PlayStation, PS Vita, PC, MAC and Xbox
The game sees the planet of Blobolonia under threat by an evil Emperor set on world domination, and players must save the day by controlling a young boy as he works with his friend, an alien blob-like creature with incredible shapeshifting abilities activated by eating jelly beans. The duo will attempt to defeat enemies and solve puzzles in order to reach Blobolonia and dethrone the tyrannical Emperor.
“We are delighted to announce this new Switch version of the game, which is just the start of our long-term commitment to the A Boy and His Blob universe,” said Michael Devine, SVP of Business Development at Ziggurat. “Games like Blob only come along once in a great while and we are absolutely thrilled to continue Blob’s journey with our friends at WayForward for new and old audiences alike.”
Highlights:
- Experience a heartwarming story told through beautiful hand-drawn and animated illustrations!
- Feed the blob jellybeans to activate 15 useful transformations such as the Caramel Cannon, Bubble Gum Bouncer, and classic beans like the Licorice Ladder, Apple Jack, and Tangerine Trampoline.
