Developer Skunkape Games has announced that Sam & Max Save the World Remastered and Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space Remastered will launch on September 29 for PlayStation 4. The first remaster launched on December 2, 2020, for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, and on August 10, 2021, for Xbox One, while the second launched on December 8, 2021, for Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam. A PlayStation 4 announcement trailer for both titles was also released.
Sam and Max, the self-proclaimed Freelance Police, are a dog and rabbity-thing team who fight crime… sort of. Sam is a six-foot-dog in a suit with a nose for justice (just don’t call him McGruff, or he might bite you). Max is a hyperkinetic lagomorph with no internal filter and an insatiable hunger for chaos. Together they save the world—sometimes on purpose—in the weirdest, silliest ways possible.
In Sam & Max Save the World, a mind-control scheme involving washed-up child stars spirals to encompass the media, the mafia, the United States government, and the internet—building up to an out-of-this-world finale.
Meanwhile, Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space pits our heroes against Santa Claus, the Bermuda Triangle, an emo vampire, a time-traveling trio, and Satan himself—but you’ll never guess who’s *really* calling the shots.
Skunkape’s remasters spruce up Sam and Max’s episodic adventures with higher resolution graphics, dynamic lighting, improved lip sync, remastered audio, and a number of aesthetic and quality-of-life tweaks that make these classic games look beautiful and play smoothly on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
