Long-time fans of the venerable Earthworm Jim series were likely disappointed by the abrupt cancellation of the highly anticipated PSP installment of the series last year. Fortunately, those who wish to blast killer goldfish once again may take solace in the recent news that Interplay announced that a new Earthworm Jim game is in development with the aid of series creator Douglas TenNapel. The game, bearing the working title Earthworm Jim 4, is only one part of a veritable media blitz which will reportedly include an "animated series and feature film to expand the well-known brand."

There is no word yet on which platforms the game will appear, nor does anyone yet know when it will be released, but as long as it is sometime before “never,” that should at least be a step in the right direction.
