There was much discussion when it was announced that Earthworm Jim would be returning to the 2D platforming arena on current consoles in the form of Earthworm Jim 4. Today, the project seems to have quietly died somewhere. The writing was on the wall for the game when The Intellivision Amico failed to materialize and the cancellation of the game is attributed to that along with the fact that they may never have had access to an official license for the game. CEO he told IGN last July that work on the game system was ongoing and the trademark was very much alive, although we haven’t heard anything since then and it seems unlikely that it will be released. An Earthworm Jim animation was also in the works, but nothing materialized on that front either.
