As announced by Microids in October 2021, the Joe & Mac license is making a comeback with a new title New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja. Developed by Mr. Nutz Studio, the game is slated for release next November on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch.
The action and platform game takes us straight into the past, towards prehistory. We find Joe & Mac, two prehistoric men living peacefully in their village. Only a band of Neanderthals decide to come and loot the village and kidnap all the women of the tribe. It doesn’t take much for our duo to embark on a quest to deliver their women from the caves. And to do this, you will have to escape the carnivorous plants and beat up the dino who only dreams of chewing you.
Here, exit the original pixel graphics. All the graphics have been reworked in a comic strip style which helps to reinforce the crazy side of the game. Several game modes will be available in this new opus, starting with an Arcade mode which will give nostalgics the impression of going back a few years. An Extended mode will be there for an extended experience and more detail. It will also be possible to harden yourself in a training mode and then challenge all the bosses of the game in the Boss Rush mode. Finally, all you have to do is challenge the clock in a Speedrun mode.
