Publisher Microids and developer Mr. Nutz Studio officially announced a November release window for New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja, with the remake of the classic coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. Players on PlayStation and Switch consoles will also be able to buy the game’s physical edition called “T-Rex Edition,” featuring various goodies and to be made available at a separate date. Check out the official gameplay trailer for New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja below.
The trailer shows Joe and Mac’s humble beginnings in the arcade, before turning to 2022 where their remade game is set to launch in a few months. Of course, as it is being remade for modern audiences, players can expect new features and aspects that are sure to bring nostalgia from 1991.
New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja features the titular Joe and Mac, two cavemen living peaceful lives in the past. However, that changes when a group of Neanderthal primates ransack the village and kidnap all women. Now, Joe and Mac must embark on a dangerous journey to free their beloved wives. Along the way, they’ll have to contend with not only the Neanderthals but also the deadly dinosaurs and carnivorous plants that stand in their way.
New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja will feature two new main modes: Arcade mode and Extended mode. The Arcade mode emulates the original experience albeit with a remastered coat, while the Extended mode presents a longer version of the story for both new and old players to enjoy. Besides those, as with the original arcade title, New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja can be played by up to two players locally, in addition to a training mode, a boss rush mode, and even a speedrun mode.
The T-Rex physical edition of New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja will include the following:
- New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja game on their platform of choice (PS5, PS4, or Switch)
- 2 sticker sheets
- One trading card
- A 3D keychain
