‘We started work on remastering Season Two before the Save The World remaster even came out’
[Update:Skunkape has since reached outto provide a tease of season two(the Ice Station Santa episode). They’ve also pointed out that the 2007 original is available on GOG as a free bonus forRemasteredowners. They are “in the process of setting up the original episodes as free DLC on Steam” if you have the remaster.]
Itching formoreSam & Maxremastered seasons? Well, developer Skunkape Games has you covered.
Revealed in a very low key AMA earlier this month, the studio is already working on future seasons. Two and three are outright confirmed in the following statement: “We started work on remastering Season Two before theSave The Worldremaster even came out! Surprise! How wellSave the Worldsells will help us determine the scope for the remasters of seasons 2 and 3.” That’s confidence!
As a reminder,Beyond Time and Space(S2) debuted its first episode in 2007, andThe Devil’s Playhouse(S3) arrived in 2010. All of the seasons have their own charm to them, thanks in part due to the great performances and characterizations of the titular duo.
Skunkape Games also shed some light on a few other tidbits of the development process, like the fact that they don’t plan on making old voices available in the remasters, and are “working on a way to make the old games playable again,” in spite of their delisting. It is confirmed that each season will be “separate games,” as well.
Fun fact: I first learned aboutSam & Maxthroughthis amazing Easter egg inJedi Knight. The discovery of that weird little bunny led me to theSam & Maxcomic series, as well as their debut gameHit the Road: which I had missed a few years earlier.
