Update: It seems the game will feature a brand new multiplayer mode of some kind, according to the Youtube video's description.
Original Story: Yesterday, THQ Nordic revealed that it would be announcing three games over the next three days. Out of all the games within the publisher's huge back catalogue, no one suggested a revival of SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, a PlayStation 2 platformer beloved by fans.
In fairness, "beloved" was the word THQ Nordic used when it hinted at the games to be announced. So, here we are: SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated has been officially unveiled. Bit of a mouthful, that.
The remaster, developed by Purple Lamp Studios, will see the Nickelodeon icon skip onto PS4 in 2020. There's not much more information to go on right now, but we imagine this will be a fairly straightforward port with updated visuals.
Are you ready? Did you see this announcement coming? Are you excited, or is this a load of barnacles? Go jellyfishing in the comments below.

I will actually buy this 😂 amazing
THQ Nordic has already won E3
I never understood the hype for this game even back during the PS2 era, but ok. It makes sense THQ Nordic remake this game instead of oh I don't know Kingdoms of Amalur.
So are they not going to do any new games with all the ips they bought just remaster PS2 and PS3 games.
So hyped. I love Battle for Bikini Bottom.
You know what, I actually thought this game was alright back then. I'll definitely be getting this as I have a 2 and a half year old son who is just starting to get into Spongebob. So he can have this and MediEvil for his birthday
spongebob was already on PS2? wow.
Meh - still hope of Timesplitters tomorrow I guess
Man i am so excited for this!!! My childhood games are literally all coming back!! Crash came back, Spyro came back, now Spongebob is back, now all i need is the Simpsons Hit and Run to come back and i will be totally reliving my childhood!!
Lmao my cousin had this game and it was...ok I guess! Maybe I'll give it a chance!
Never cared about Spongebob, so this is a pretty lame announcement for me.
Battle for Bikini Bottom is the best SpongeBob Squarepants game ever made!
If they mess this up, there will be punishments.
@Mosquito8991 Simpons Hit and Run remake is all up to Disney now that they own The Simpsons
Aaaaaaaaaam ready!
so this count as 1 or the 3... lets hope the other 2 are new 😕
Why wait till near E3 to announce a rehash port for 2020. People expecting big news.
OMG YES. I never got around to playing this back on PS2, definitely interested.
