It's finally here! Rare has confirmed that Battletoads will release for Xbox One and Xbox Game Pass on August 20th, as well as Windows 10 and Steam. You can watch the new trailer above.
More than two decades since the last game, the new Battletoads will focus on the series' classic beat 'em up gameplay, but will also introduce new vehicle sections and even some puzzle-solving. Furthermore, the game will support couch co-op for up to three players, with the ability to drop in and out at will.
Battletoads is available to pre-install right now with Xbox Game Pass, and Rare says it will be sharing more gameplay deep dives, first glimpses of new collectible merchandise and exclusive giveaways in the lead up to release.
It’s been quite a while – 26 years, in fact – but at long last, the Battletoads are ready to morph, leap and smash their way back into the limelight for an all-new adventure helmed by Dlala Studios and supported by series creator Rare, a partnership first teased during E3 2018’s Xbox showcase.
Will you be joining the fight with Battletoads in a few weeks? Let us know in the comments.

Why wasn't this part of the July event?
@Grumblevolcano All I can think of is that the showcase was solely focussed on Series X titles, and titles with that as the lead platform, rather than games that will be enhanced for it later.
Is a shame it didn't get a hyped reveal though, been looking forward to it.
Yeah it's totally baffling that they chose not to show any of this at the latest Showcase. Could've been the perfect balance after a majority of the games looked a long way off to reveal that this was coming out just a few weeks later.
Oh, yeah. Games like this make my Xbox purchase all the more worth it. I do game sometimes on PC, but I prefer consoles. That's why this is great for me.
Weird this wasn't there last week. At the very least it should've been in the preshow thing. Ah well looks very stylish, hope those looking forward to it enjoy it!
This actually looks really fun.
August is very busy month for xbox studios
We've got 4 new games 😁
So the only missing game is kartriders drift?
I don't hear any news about that game.
@Jaxx420 yeah but then there is Tell Me Why which comes out the day after Battletoads...
Nice to see this game is finally getting released soon!
And it’s a perfect Game Pass game.
Wow this looks so much fun!! I want this!
@mousieone Third party exclusive marketing will be part of the agreement.
Sure looks fun, quite wacky, and it's going to be day one on Gamepass, can't complain with that..
But xbox got The Tourist so could Switch get Battletoads? That's a fair trade
Can't wait to see if this is good
I will.pass, the graphics just killed it for me.
This looks pretty great.
Looks absolutely trash. Tbf. Shame I used to love battletoads when rare were rare.......and not selling their IP's to substandard developers.
