The 2003 classic is considered by many to be one of the truly great licensed games ever made which makes its return here all the more exciting. While Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated will be getting a pretty great graphical update, it will also seemingly boast a few new features as well such as multiplayer.
Here’s the official description from THQ Nordic:
Are you ready, kids? The cult classic is back, faithfully remade in spongetastic splendor! Play as SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy and show the evil Plankton that crime pays even less than Mr. Krabs. Want to save Bikini Bottom from lots of rampant robots? Of course you do! Want to underpants bungee jump? Why wouldn’t you! Want to join forces in a brand new multiplayer mode? The battle is on!

Update (7/24) - THQ Nordic, the mega publisher behind over 80 titles, has announced their Gamescom 2019 lineup! Games on the show floor include:
- Spongebob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom
- Destroy All Humans!
- Biomutant
- Desperados III
- Darksiders: Genesis
- TBA
So alongside that TBA title, 3 other games will be announced at this event. With over 48 unannounced games, we could expect some more Nickelodeon games as well as more from their newly acquired studios. Each day from 5am ET/2am PT, THQ Nordic will have a stage show with various developers showing off what they got.
Gamescom 2019 is August 20th-August 24th in Cologne, Germany.
As of now, there’s still not much else that we know about SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated. The game’s reveal trailer didn’t feature any gameplay footage and a release window for the remake also wasn’t given. That said, we do know that Purple Lamp Studios is the developer of the project and that it will be coming to PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC when it does arrive. Furthermore, don’t expect to see the game in action next week at E3 as THQ has already said it won’t be appearing.
While it might be awhile until we see Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated in action, it’s really exciting just to know that it’s now in existence. If you’d like to check out the game’s reveal trailer, you can find it below.
The remastered version of SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom is the first game from THQ Nordic's partnership with Nickelodeon, which will see the video game publisher re-release fan-favorite video games inspired by beloved Nickelodeon properties such as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Back at the Barnyard, Catscratch, Danny Phantom, El Tigre, Invader Zim, Jimmy Neutron, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Rocket Power, Rocko’s Modern Life, Rugrats, SpongeBob SquarePants, Tak and the Power of JuJu, The Fairly OddParents (US only), The Ren & Stimpy Show, and The Wild Thornberrys.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated is also the first of three game announcements planned by THQ Nordic over the coming three days.
The original game was developed by Heavy Iron Studios, AWE Games, and Vicarious Visions, and published by THQ. The game was released for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube consoles as well as separate versions for Microsoft Windows and Game Boy Advance. The Microsoft Windows version of the game is a point-and-click adventure game, whereas the 6th generation consoles received a 3D platformer. The Game Boy Advance version received a 2D platformer.
It’ll be interesting to see if any other blasts from the past make a comeback. Nicktoons Unite! wouldn’t be a bad place to start next.
