New ToeJam & Earl Game Enters Planning Stage

Design lead Anthony Napolitano will steer a third‑party project that aims to recapture the series’ early style.

Overview

  • The co-creator Greg Johnson said the project is in planning with no release window, platforms or publisher announced.
  • It will be handled by an external studio with design led by “Nap,” identified in reporting as Anthony Napolitano from Back in the Groove.
  • Johnson described the direction as a blend of the first two games, incorporating previously unused sequel ideas.
  • An Amazon/Story Kitchen film remains in development as Johnson says the team is still seeking a director and the format could be animated or hybrid.
  • Johnson notes limited control over the movie and unclear involvement in the new game, while his studio focuses on Dancing with Ghosts, now on Kickstarter with a Steam demo.
