Toxic Crusaders Video Game Adaptation Sets December Release Date
The streets of Tromaville, New Jersey are making a comeback as the long-awaited video game adaptation of the cult classic cartoon series Toxic Crusaders finally gets a release date. The game, developed by Retroware, will launch on December 4 for PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. A new trailer was revealed during San Diego Comic-Con and shared by IGN, giving fans a first look at the chaotic action.
Designed as a side-scrolling beat ’em up, the game stays true to the quirky and over-the-top style of the original 90s cartoon. Players can choose from seven different characters, each with unique abilities, and team up in local co-op for up to four players. The story picks up where the cartoon left off, featuring familiar faces like the villainous Dr. Killemoff and his incompetent henchmen.
For fans of the franchise, the wait has been frustrating. Retroware initially announced the game for a 2023 release, but delays pushed it back multiple times. Now, with a confirmed December launch, players can finally look forward to diving into the toxic chaos.
While waiting for the game, fans can check out the upcoming reboot of The Toxic Avenger, the 1984 film that inspired the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. The new movie hits theaters on August 29, offering another dose of the franchise’s signature absurdity.
With its retro pixel art style and cooperative gameplay, the Toxic Crusaders game aims to capture the spirit of the original series while delivering fresh action for both longtime fans and newcomers. December 4 marks the day players can finally unleash their inner eco-warriors.
