Tim Schafer Confirms Grim Fandango, Day Of The Tentacle, And Full Throttle Remasters To Hit Xbox In 2020

When it comes to Tim Schafer’s creative mind from his time working at LucasArts prior to the founding of Double Fine Productions, most of his know projects already received respected remasters. However, these reimagings only made it as far as PC, PlayStation 4, and Apple devices. But now the same titles are expecting a new home on Xbox later this year.

Speaking with IGN’s Executive Editor of previews Ryan McCaffrey, he tells that Grim Fandango Remastered, Full Trottle Remastered, and Day of the Tentacle Remastered will all be shipping to Microsoft’s platform sometime in the coming months. Prior to the livestream airing, McCaffrey shares the news in a post on Twitter.

The announcement is pretty exhilarating to say the least for Xbox owners and it comes to make sense since the Schafer’s studio, Double Fine Productions, is now a part of Xbox Game Studios first-party network. What echoes to have taken so long looks to be previous marketing for the properties as the team initially partnered with Sony earlier on following the announcement of Psychonauts 2, but now that looks to have been dismantled.

The announcement does also potentially ensue that the titles mentioned could perhaps hit the next-generation Xbox Series X as well. McCaffrey only stating ‘Xbox’ does leave room to suggest more than one platform. And with the team being a first-part developer, it is a possibility to think over. Regardless, that is only speculation that should not be taken as fact until properly disclosed by Double Fine productions or Microsoft.

Regarding the anticipated sequel to Double Fine Productions’ 2005 release, Schafer shared previously in July that the scheduled 2019 release date had to be pushed to the coming year as the studio asks for more time to work on the game towards the final product.
