Hey G-LYFE Nation, The Media Indie Exchange (The MIX) is teaming up with Paramount, Wallride Games, and Limited Run Games to drop some major news. They’re launching their first title under The MIX Games publishing label, and it’s a blast from the past—Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland. Get ready for this retro-inspired, puzzle-platforming journey set to hit PC and consoles in 2024.
Classic Squad, New Playground
Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil are back in action, inviting you to roll solo or squad up with a baby buddy. This level-based, co-op experience draws heavy inspo from classic NES titles but gets a facelift with modern game design. Whether it’s high-speed chases, sneaky baby-stack trench coat antics, or causing mayhem as Reptar, you’re in for some top-notch nostalgia.
Familiar Faces and New Spaces
Don’t worry, the gang’s all here. Say hey to Angelica, Cynthia, and Spike as you traverse different levels, each boasting its own theme, secrets, and boss encounters. The game goes the extra mile with stunning hand-drawn animations that capture the vibe of the original TV show, but if you’re itching for that old-school feel, you can switch to an 8-bit visual style.
Flex Your Baby Powers
Each baby has a distinct skillset and mechanics, so you can hop, bop, and swap your way through the game. It’s not just about beating levels; it’s about how you beat them. Experiment with each character’s unique abilities to discover hidden gems and shortcuts.
The MIX and Paramount Join Forces for More
Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is just the tip of the iceberg. This collaboration marks the beginning of a multi-game partnership between The MIX Games and Paramount. From original titles to different genres, the team has got their creative juices flowing. They’re planning to offer more than just games, featuring limited edition hardware systems and collectibles through their partnership with Limited Run Games.
Try Before You Buy at PAX West
If you’re headed to PAX West, be sure to swing by the Limited Run booth (#1939 in the Summit Level 0 Expo) to catch the first demo. It’ll also be on display at The MIX Showcase. Either way, you can get a first-hand look before making any moves.
That’s the 411, gamers. The MIX and their partners are offering a slice of nostalgia mixed with modern game mechanics. Stay tuned for more updates and keep it locked with G-LYFE!
