THQ Nordic has revealed 12 minutes of [I]SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated pre-alpha gameplay. The game remasters an early 2000s classic.

The original SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom came out in 2003 for the Gamecube, PC, PlayStation 2, and Xbox. The game took players through the world of Bikini Bottom to platform their way through multiple challenges. It used the mascot platformer concept, like Mario or Banjo Kazooie, and and applied a SpongeBob coating.

Next year, THQ Nordic will release a remaster of the platformer called SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottoms Rehydrated. The studio showed off 12 minutes of the new game in a video released for Gamescom and it looks breathtakingly gorgeous.

The environments have received more than a fresh coat of paint. The whole game has new animations, new textures, and updated voice acting. The world has more detail, including some very impressive grass, and generally feels more alive while still evoking the feel of the 2003 version.

While the level design seems mostly in keeping with the original, the whole thing has a new level of polish that should make it easy to pick up for both newcomers and fans of the original. In the game, players control SpongeBob, who can slap, spin, jump, and ground pound his way through Bikini Bottom.

The SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon first came on the air in 1999 and has remained culturally relevant for 20 years. The show still airs new episodes with no end in sight. In the era of game remasters, it makes sense to re-release games starring characters like Spyro and Crash Bandicoot because they don't have a life beyond games. They can only catch a second wind on nostalgia in the game space.





This really takes me back of when I was in my single digits, use to play it all the time, bringing back a complete remastered is really dope coming from the creators....
