25 members who worked on the original Earthworm Jim have reunited to bring back the series for a brand new entry on exclusively for the upcoming Intellivision Amico console. Yeah, the Intellivision Amico. That’s apparently still a thing.

In celebration of the 25^th anniversary of Earthworm Jim, Intellivision Entertainment has gathered together and reunited the original Earthworm Jim team to create a brand new game exclusively for the upcoming Intellivision Amico game console. Ten of the original programmers, artists, audio team and level designers are taking part in bringing back the uniqueness and humor of the Earthworm Jim series.

To celebrate the reunion with the fans, a 20 minute live interactive simulcast streaming event will take place on Saturday, May 4^th at noon pacific during the first Earthworm Jim design meeting with the original team. As part of the live simulcast, the team will engage with fans to hear their new vision firsthand, multiple original art pieces will be hand-drawn by the artists, signed by the entire team and given away to people viewing the live stream. In addition, 50 brand new posters will be signed and numbered for live chat prizes.

The Intellivision Amico, launching October 10, 2020, is a planned game console designed to bring social fun back to the living room. Amico is the Italian word for “friend” or “buddy” and Intellivision Amico encapsulates this meaning fully with a home entertainment system that has multiplayer, togetherness at its core. All new games as well as reimagined classics coming to the system invite up to eight to play using easy to use controllers and even mobile phones.
