The streets of Tromaville, New Jersey are calling once again as the video game adaptation of the off-the-wall cartoon series Toxic Crusaders<\/em> gets a release date. Seen in an official trailer from Retroware that was shown off during San Diego Comic-Con and shared online by IGN, the Toxic Crusaders<\/em> game is releasing on December 4 on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and Steam.<\/p>\n

As a true callback to the quirky cartoon from the ’90s, the video game is designed as a side-scrolling beat ’em up, all packaged in a fitting pixel art style. In Toxic Crusaders<\/em>, you can select up to seven characters from the series, each with their own unique movesets and abilities, and join together for up to four players in local co-op. For Toxic Crusaders<\/em> fans wanting more after the original series ended without a second season, this adaptation picks up where things left off. You’ll still run into some familiar faces, like the story’s main villain, Dr. Killemoff and his two bumbling henchmen.<\/p>\n

For followers of the franchise, it’s been a discouraging journey since Retroware first announced the adaptation for release in 2023. It’s been delayed a couple of times, but the latest trailer finally offers a definitive date. If you can’t wait until December, you can catch The Toxic Avenger<\/em> <\/em>film — which is a reboot of the original movie from 1984 that the Toxic Crusaders<\/em> cartoon was adapted from — in theaters on August 29.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
