Hudson Entertainment has announced the development of Bonk: Brink of Extinction, a new downloadable game scheduled for release early in 2010 for WiiWare, PSN and Xbox LIVE Arcade.

The updated side-scrolling adventure promises next generation graphics coupled with retro gameplay and cooperative action.

“As one of the most recognisable characters in gaming history, the return of Bonk has been widely requested by fans for years,” said Sabine Duvall, Vice President of Product Development at Hudson Entertainment. “Bonk: Brink of Extinction will delight fans as well as new gamers with its retro yet modern gameplay, updated graphics and online play!”

The loveable caveman Bonk and his huge head returns to save the world from a doomsday comet on a collision course with Earth. Meanwhile the comet’s magnetic field is driving the planet’s creatures crazy and smaller bits of debris are smashing into the jungle near Bonk’s home. Bonk must swim, bite, climb, jump, run and headbutt his way through jungles, deserts and volcanic caverns while earning power ups, reaching check points and gaining extra health on a perilous journey to the very centre of the planet.

Bonk: Brink of Extinction also features new transformations, with Bonk able to morph into eight different forms by eating meat or encountering Primordial Ooze.
