As part of today's THQ Nordic's showcase, an all-new SpongeBob SquarePants game was announced for Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S known as SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake. No release date was announced, but like the Destroy all Humans! 2 remake, it's said to be "coming soon".

After the success of SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated, it seems the go-ahead has been given for a "brand-new adventure". The 3D platformer will see players travelling between seven different zones of Bikini Bottom, utilising different costumes and using a variety of abilities.

Oh, and you'll constantly be accompanied by a balloon version of Patrick.

"Wish-granting Mermaid’s Tears in the hands of SpongeBob and Patrick… What could possibly go wrong? Sure, the very fabric holding the very universe very together could come very undone, opening up portals into Wishworlds full of knights, cowboys, pirates, and prehistoric snails. But that’s nothing everyone’s favorite sponge can’t handle - with the right cosmic costume! Everybody do the Cosmic Shake!"

As big fans of the original Xbox game and the remake of Battle for Bikini Bottom, you can expect we'll be there day one for this. While there's no gameplay yet, we'll no doubt hear more about the title soon, and it's certainly pushed its way into our 'most wanted' list.
