Remember Bubsy: Paws on Fire? It's Coming Out Next Month on PS4

In case you were wondering

That's right, you didn't imagine another Bubsy game is on its way. Announced towards the end of last year, Bubsy: Paws on Fire is a sidescrolling auto runner from Choice Provisions, the studio behind the Bit.Trip Runner series. With similar on-rails running and jumping gameplay and multiple characters with unique abilities, it might be a slight improvement to the rubbish Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back. Might.

The game releases on 16th May 2019, so the return of gaming's most obnoxious platforming mascot is just over a month away. It'll be released digitally and physically, and you can even nab a Limited Edition, which includes a soundtrack sampler and a player's guide booklet.

Are you excited to see Bubsy making a comeback? List off more deserving platformer revivals in the comments below.

I can't help but feel if that internet didn't incessantly talk about how Sony Bend, or just Bend as they were back then, destroyed Bubsy's already fragile career, this would never have happened.

But some executive saw easy money because memes.

And now the little sod won't go back to that farm upstate because we all keep buying it out of morbid curiosity.
