SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated Is Available Now!

Vienna, Austria, June 23, 2020 – THQ Nordic today announced that the highly anticipated SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated (Rehydrated) is now available on PlayStation®4, Xbox® One, Nintendo Switch™ and PC. Are you ready, kids?

Update (8/14) - Embracer Group CEO Lars Wingefors said during the earnings call of his company that SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle For Bikini Bottom Rehydrated has sold more than 1 million units since its launch on June 23rd. While the earnings call was about the quarter ending June 30th, the milestone was hit sometime after that quarter (so in July or August)!

Watch the release trailer below:


The cult-classic has been faithfully remade in all of its spongetastic splendor! In addition to high-end visuals, modern resolutions and carefully polished gameplay, players can look forward to new content that didn’t make the original game release. With Rehydrated, you can experience coop multiplayer in SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom for the first time. After all, who would SpongeBob be without his best friends?

Just like the original game, Rehydrated features tons of characters and a lot of the irreverent humor from the TV series and upcoming feature film. Every iconic location in the game has multiple segments, a unique vibe, special puzzles and individual story plots, packing in something for every player! Players can play as SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy, each with unique skills to traverse certain parts of each level – only SpongeBob can use his underpants to bungee jump and only Sandy has a lasso to swing and glide through the gameworld.

In multiplayer mode, two-players can team up in either local couch or online co-op mode to battle the evil Robo-Squidward and all robots from the main game, wave after wave, across more than twenty islands. Rehydrated’s multiplayer mode also features four additional playable characters: Mr. Krabs, Gary, Squidward and Robo-Plankton, each with their own sets of moves and attacks, straight from the TV series and upcoming movie!

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated is now available worldwide. For more information go to https://rehydrated.thqnordic.com/ or follow @thqnordic.
