Sam & Max Save the World Remastered Announced

The anthropomorphic duo Sam and Max are back to save the world this year as a remastered version of, well, Sam & Max Save the World has been announced. The new version of the first episodic series from Telltale Games, remastered by former Telltale developers Skunkape Games, is set to release on December 2nd for Nintendo Switch and PC.

Sam & Max Save the World initially released back in 2006 and 2007 in six distinct parts. When Telltale closed up shop in 2018, Skunkape Games acquired the rights and has apparently been working with original assets to enhance the resolution on models and textures, improve the audio, completely rework the game's lighting, and more. In other words, the new remaster should look and play better than ever.

To remaster Sam & Max Save The World, we went back to the original 2006 source assets, upped the resolution of models and textures, re-encoded the audio, and re-lit the entire game from scratch. Plus we worked with @BayAreaSound to add a little new music! https://t.co/HYM0vRzxcy pic.twitter.com/AuuYAkXg3E
