Twisted Pixel Announces Ms. Splosion Man

No doubt if you hadn't picked up Splosion Man before last week, you probably did when it was discounted to a measly 160 Microsoft Points for Black Friday. Well, that deal couldn't have been better timed as it happens, being as it is the perfect primer for the newly revealed sequel, which Twisted Pixel has announced today.

Ms. Splosion Man has been created in the labs of Big Science (the game's location where Splosion Man wreaks havoc) following the capture of the titular orange hero, and as the mock press release celebrating Splosion Man's detainment attests: "Even if some sort of newer, stronger, better threat were created, our newest security measures and fiendish traps would be more than enough to contain it. We've made incredible advances in our technology over this past year.... Not that there would ever be a use for any of it."

The press release continues: "everything has had functionality improvements and visual overhauls, and our company has expanded to some incredible new locations. It's all pristine and beautiful..."

Big Science also assured that there'd never be a repeat of the Splosion Man debacle, stating, "What's going to happen, some sort of freak accident in the after party that creates a "Ms. Splosion Man" mere seconds after Splosion Man's capture? And then the Ms. Splosion Man goes on some monster tear in the fall of 2011? Yeah right."

And well, you know the rest. Check out the debut teaser trailer from G4TV, then look out for Ms. Splosion Man, who will be new, improved and sploding onto XBLA in fall 2011.

[Thanks, Irwin]

  • Nice!! Loved the original...probably one of the best xbla games.
  • Score. So excited, Twisted Pixel knows how to put together a game and returning to the 'Splosion Man series is definitely fine by me!
  • Yep; I'll buy this.
  • man thats a long wait!
  • It was awesome and I am sure this will be too. But you can't forget about The Maw. It was cool too. Haven't played much of Comic Jumper yet though.
  • What Tha!!! Splosion Mans a great game so this'll be a day one buy! I've got all TP games and all are great, love their games!
  • Never played the first o.O I think it's on sale so I might check it out to prepare for this :3 Plus it'll give me something to do with this bloody snow outside >.>
  • Lol that's some crazy stuff right there, didn't expect that. Really awesome.
  • Hahah, this will be great. Love Twisted Pixel's games.
  • Wicked!
  • YAY!!!! ily splosion man, but is ms. splosion man a girl or a guy? O_O
  • *blink blink* Wow, totally did not expect that. Next there's gonna be a 'Splosion Man Jr. xD Oh well...here we go again! :D
  • 'SPLODE AGAIN! :D Nice I'll be getting this.
  • EVERYONE! Everyone.....shush. Listen! What's that? I think it's Rule 34 coming. ;P (But seriously. Can't wait for this. First one was awesome.)
  • @12 No its going to be called Son of Splosion Man
  • badass! i love 'splosion man! it's one of the best arcade titles on 360 so i can't wait!
  • ahahahah. Love the Big Science press releases :P. Cant wait for this, loved the first, and love how they have everyones favourite song playing for the last few seconds :P
  • Everybody loves Bulimia, I know I do-oo-oo. Everybody loves Bulimia, so lets eat than pu-u-uke.
  • haven't started yet with the first one yet. i guess once i get everything in lego batman, i should start with splosion man.
  • Splosion Man was one of the most funniest games that I've played on XBLA so I can't wait for this.
  • Can't believe I picked this up for 160MSP, one of the finest XBLA games i've played, that coupled with Trials for 400MSP, 2 absolute gems, sequels are welcome additions to both franchises X-D
  • I'm so annoyed, I remembered the 160msp deal for Splosion Man on Thursday, completely forgot about it on Friday (despite exploring the marketplace looking for offers) then on Saturday I remembered the Splosion Man deal. Safe to say I wasn't a happy bunny :( Will probably get it though, eventually.
  • A refrence to Ms. Pac Man; methinks? After all, wouldn't it be normally Splosion Woman? =/
  • Sweet.
  • Pass Splosion man is one of the worst fucking games ive played
  • Haha, that was a great trailer.
  • Never completed Splosion Man cause of the insane diffculty But the game is awsome
  • Shouldn't it be Splosion' Woman? Naaah, fuck it, if pac man can, so can we...
  • I agree with #25. :/ I don't see the hype to the splodymang games tbh. I think Comic Jumper and Maw were superior Twisted Pixel games but...I guess this does have its heavy fanbase and it's only natural it'd get a sequal. Good news for those who want it, no doubt.
  • Do I sense Co-op ??
  • Happy days =D
  • Ms Splosion man??? What idiot came up with that?! I'd rather see Splosion woman^^ Still loved the game and will defo pick this baby up!
  • @32, It's an obscure reference to Pac-Man.
  • sweeT! just bought splosion man im enjoying for now...been doing alot of multiplayer with the wife lol
  • I wish they would make The Maw 2 instead. :(
  • 'Splosion Man Jr. would be a beekeeper right? @35, me too.
  • No. Please no more Splosion Man.
  • Time to buy this as well, @ 37 your a hater, get off this post
  • Everybody loves doughnuts.
  • @39 I know I do.
  • Not another one!
  • OMG dont make me wait so long =( theres no way i can wait for DOTW again after that wait. this will be great
  • Just bought it last week for only 160 MSP!! a very enjoyable game
  • I Meant Splosion Man :P
  • I was never able to beat the game. got stuck halfway through.
  • I cant believe this game was only 2 bucks. The other $2 games were barely worth it, but splosion man is worth its original price. Looking forward to this.
  • YOUD THINK THEY WOULD CALL IT 'SPLOSION WOMAN'........
  • Fuck yeah!.. but i agree with 47 lol
  • @11 did you really ask if >>MS.
  • Day 1 buy for me!
  • @47 YOUD THINK YOUD HOLD SHIFT AND NOT CAPS LOCK...... OT: It is a reference to Pac Man/Ms. Pac Man for all you people who don't understand puns/humor.
  • @30, The original has co-op levels so I'm going to assume this one will as well.
  • @51 Swore I was the first one to say that, but oh well.
  • Meh, I'm not a big fan of TP gfx art style. I did like The Maw more than Splosion Man. Also, the title for this game should be Splosion Bitch.
  • I love Twisted Pixel, their games actually provide a challenge, can't wait!
  • day 1 purchase!
  • woo! such a fun game
  • This ought to be cool. Maybe I'll get around to finishing the first one by then!
  • ms splosion man? that will never work.....o wait....nevermind. waka waka waka!
  • Is it sad that my favorite game of theirs is still their first -- The Maw?
  • My "Ms." saw some "S'plosion man" this morning when I woke up, if you catch my meaning.
  • Just another game about a hot chick going through her menstrual cycle...
  • Portal (Cake) and Halo (Bubble Shield) references, anyone? Or is it just me?
  • i cant believe what ive just read....plz no more splosion man, come on dude, you will rarely see some good game like that one on xbla, plz keep bringing some splosion, like someone said, splosion junior would be good ......lol...hardcore his freakin hardcore, keep on goin guys, good job, im sick of game you can finish in couple of hours(36 xbla 100%achievement, 33 retail)
