It’s been six years since ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove heralded the return of gaming’s funkiest alien duo, and while that’s by no means the longest gap between entries (the third game, Mission to Earth, was released in 2002), fans have naturally been curious about what the future has in store for the series—if anything. The good news is, there are indeed plans for a new ToeJam and Earl game. The bad news is, at this stage, they’re little more than that.
The update comes direct from ToeJam and Earl co-creator Greg Johnson, who took to Reddit recently for an AMA. The subject of a new game was eventually broached by user Arkeband, who asked whether there was anything Johnson could share about previous “whispers” of another entry.
Johnson’s response was brief, but candid. “I can say that a new game is in the planning stage. We intend to make it happen,” he replied. Unlike 2019’s Back in the Groove, this game won’t be developed by Johnson’s company HumaNature Studios, though some contributors to that project will be involved.
