Ms. Splosion Man, the follow-up to hit Xbox LIVE Arcade platformer ‘Splosion Man, will be released in the autumn of 2011, developer Twisted Pixel has announced.
In a press release which pretends to interview employees of Big Science laboratories, Dr. Wilson said: “Even if some sort of newer, stronger, better threat were created, our newest security measures and fiendish traps would be more than enough to contain it. We’ve made incredible advances in our technology over this past year… Not that there would ever be a use for any of it.”
Suggesting the new game will feature a range of new locations and improved graphics, Dr. Henry added: “Our lab, our equipment – everything has had functionality improvements and visual overhauls, and our company has expanded to some incredible new locations. It’s all pristine and beautiful – decadent environments that we are very happy no experiment gone wrong will ever rampage through.”
Offering up a little more info was Twisted Pixel CCO Josh Bear, who told Joystiq: “We could have churned out new levels [for Splosion Man], but we wouldn’t have had the time to add in new gameplay puzzles or cool new character stuff. But we didn’t just want to do Splosion Man 2, it had to be something a little more interesting. That is why we decided to do MSM.”
More info is promised in the coming months. The press release makes no mention of platforms, but Twisted Pixel’s development history points to XBLA
‘Splosion Man proved to be amazing fun, with a blend of great puzzle-based platforming, bundles of charm and light humour.
We have high hopes for the follow-up, and given the success of Black Friday’s massive price reduction on the title, there should be plenty of Xbox 360 gamers keen to get their hands on Ms. Splosion Man.
