If you thought 90s platformer mascots were done trying to revive themselves with 2017's Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back, then don't worry, because apparently that sold well enough to warrant another new entry. Accolade is bringing Bubsy out again for a new title called Bubsy: Paws on Fire, which will be gracing the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC next year. From what we see in the newly uploaded trailer, the BIT.TRIP.RUNNER team are developing this game, which appears to be a 2.5D auto-running platformer that has you playing as four different characters from deep Bubsy lore and history, which all have different gameplay elements.

Bubsy Reacts…

When I told my agent I wanted my next game to be my best yet, he reminded me I was no longer his client and had his number changed. Luckily the suc-… er, developers at Choice Provisions still agreed to partner up with me. It’s amazing what a couple of sharpened claws can get you in this world!

Choice Provisions Reacts…

After some productive meetings and even more productive threats we agreed to work with Bubsy on creating an auto-runner worthy of his stature. And when that was done we scrapped it and made a good game instead.

oh YEAH FUCK YEAH BUBSY BECAUSE EVERYONE ASKED FOR ANOTHER ONE

 

[Chary]

This is not the game we wanted...

...but this is the game we deserve.

Thanks, 2018.

I can see this being the Switch's top seller.

The last thing I was expecting was a sequel to 2017's cat-tastrophic Bubsy game, yet here we are, fur-real. Maybe, just maybe, this game will be paw-some! Just kitten, it'll be meow-cre at best. I'm almost paw-sitively sure it'll be a disaster.

I know a couple people that bought the last one just for the meme. It is unlikely they will do the same for this one.

GBATEMP TV STREAM WHEN?

Good. Bubsy has been there for a good while, in videogame history. It's great to see him in action once again.

This is not the game we wanted...

...but this is the game we deserve.

Thanks, 2018.

Exactly this...

MBGA are you tired of WINNING?

 

[the_randomizer]

Just....why? The last game had a lot of levels that were empty, so...yeah.

Paws on Fire? Is it because he has Vasculitis

Died at "from deep Bubsy lore and history,"

I know at least one temper who will be picking this up

People who played the first reboot, was it for the memes? Does anyone buy these because they actually like Bubsy?

 

[Hells Malice]

Well if they're lighting the mascot on fire, we can only hope he'll die quickly.

 

[Jayro]

The game looks boring, the colors are dull, and it overall looks like some college kid's final project made in Unity.

 

[SG854]

That symbol on his shirt makes him look like a walking warning sign.

 

[CeeDee]

Where's the relevant user when you need them?

 

[KingVamp]

What could pos

I don't think they should have made it an auto runner.

 

[osaka35]

auto-running game? seems a bit unnecessary.
