So this came up. My HUGE hope is that this is a surprise remaster or even a remake of Ice Age 2: The Meltdown that was on Wii/GC/PS2/XB/PC. This was a 3D platformer starring Scrat who spends the game collecting nuts by the late great Eurocom. Just Add Water (the modern Oddworld devs) being on this is a shocker.

Outright's seemingly now have the Ice Age license (and likely Blue Sky Studios' licenses as a whole I'd imagine), just like they obtained the DreamWorks licenses, both of which were with Activision a long time ago.

Anyone play Ice Age 2 or 3 (also by Eurocom)? Continental Drift: Arctic Games and the first movie game on GBA were by Behaviour/A2M which was funny.

Sadly the odds are just as big of this being a new game, and looking at Outright's line-up, it's not anything more than "okay" from what I've seen, but they're far from Little Orbit horrendous at least...

Also, special reminder of Ice Age 2's outstanding soundtrack by Jim Croft:

How random especially since the Ice Age movies suck, are basically a dead property now and only the first one has barely aged well.

Maybe some contract work JAW took on so they can go on spending 7 years between Oddworld games?

Damn I completely forgot about that Ice Age 2 game. I think I played it on PS2 back in the day. Would be interesting if it actually is a remaster/remake of that.

Believe it or not, BN DO actually seem to work with Outright on their EU releases like Ben 10 and recently with Dragons: Dawn of New Riders:


So it was legit, wow.


Is it safe for me to assume that Bandai EU has its own dealings and does not always publish (distributes) the same content that Bandai does in the US or Japan? Since the Twin Mirror at least shows that Bandai Japan will drop some stuff

Shame, but maybe if we wish upon the portable nut gods, they may reuse Jim Croft's soundtrack. He's at Frontier now but I doubt they'll let him compose elsewhere.

BUT, it does looks surprisingly solid and legit reminds me of the Ice Age 2 game honestly. Hell the grass area is super similar to the area with the farting bear sloth or whatever it was from Ice Age 2. I even hear the song in my head looking at it:
