As a longtime THQ fan, it's been gratifying for me to see THQ Nordic revive a lot of the publisher's IP over the past couple years. De Blob was one of my favorite quirky THQ franchises when it launched on Wii way back in the day, and now the series is coming full circle. De Blob 2 joins its predecessor with an HD remake on Nintendo Switch, coming August 28th for $29.99.
In the innovative sequel, Comrade Black is marshaling his forces to wipe color out of Prisma City for good. Blob is back with the color resistance, this time with full co-op multiplayer, to splash a little pigment into Comrade Black's face and undo the plot of his new mind-controlling partner, Papa Blanc.
I always loved how unique this series was so I'm glad to see it make a comeback. Hopefully we'll see a third entry if the first two HD remakes do well enough.
