THE STORY BEHIND Around four to five years ago, we reached out to pitch an official Battletoads crossover. We put together a playable prototype with full animations, integrating the characters directly into our game’s framework.
The demo was received with incredible excitement, so much so that we felt certain it was actually going to happen.
Sadly, momentum stalled when communication unexpectedly went quiet, and we weren't able to re-establish contact. Looking back, it could have been an issue with our email service provider at the time, as we later realized a lot of our outgoing messages had been routed straight to spam.
It still stings to think about how close we came to bringing these two classics together. Since that chapter closed, I wanted to share this short preview as a love letter to what could have been. If the stars ever align down the road, I’d still jump at the chance to work on Battletoads. One can dream.
