Poker Night at the Inventory is getting the remastered treatment next month
Skunkape spent the past few years remastering the Sam & Max titles, that is Save the World, Beyond Time and Space, and The Devil's Playhouse, but they were not done. The studio have announced that Poker Night at the Inventory is also getting the remastered treatment and coming out in March.
Poker Night at the Inventory was originally an experimental game created in three months by people who went on to lead the mega-hits The Walking Dead: A Telltale Series and The Wolf Among Us.
The game pits Max (the irreverent rabbity-thing from Sam & Max), Strong Bad (of Homestar Runner fame), Tycho (from the long-running Penny Arcade webcomic), and Team Fortress 2 mercenary The Heavy in a fast-paced poker tournament punched up with jokey trash-talk. You can see the upgrade to the visuals in the below comparison image.
The game has been unavailable since 2019, so this remaster will make some folks happy. As you might expect it includes overhauled graphics and lighting, gameplay fixes to improve the poker simulation, and new unlockables and quality-of-life features.
The updated release will be out on March 5 for Nintendo Switch, PC and PlayStation.
