A Boy and his Blob is reforming onto Switch later this year
Ziggurat Interactive have announced that they are working once more with WayForward, to bring A Boy and his Blob to Switch owners later this year, check out the reveal trailer for it below.
The game was created by WayForward in 2009 and is itself a remake of the 1989 NES release A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia, while not a commerical success, the series has its fans.
“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.”
In the game, the planet of Blobolonia is under threat by an evil Emperor set on world domination. Players control a young boy as he works with his friend, an alien blob-like creature with incredible shapeshifting abilities activated by eating jelly beans. Together the duo attempts to defeat enemies and solve puzzles in order to reach Blobolonia and dethrone the tyrannical Emperor.
There is no date for the release yet, just later this year, so hopefully it gets one soon.
