Well, it’s not Telltale directly that’s developing the remaster (since the studio ceased to exist years ago, they “only” created the original three seasons), but Skunkape Games is working on the remaster.

An ancient, terrible power lies in wait… Max has always been the more unhinged member of the Freelance Police – a lovable lunatic with a knack for wreaking havoc wherever he goes. But recently, his abilities have taken a supernatural turn. It all started when he stumbled upon a mysterious toy that allows him to see into the future. Now, Sam and Max have attracted the attention of a host of villains from across the galaxy who are hell-bent on acquiring the magical Toys of Power for their own purposes. As those seeking the Devil’s Toybox close in and Max’s psychic abilities grow beyond his control, the Freelance Police will face their most formidable adversary yet: the power of Max’s mind.

Explore strange locations, meet eccentric characters, and solve brain-bending puzzles in an interactive story with surprises around every corner. Dive into Max’s brain and use the Toys of Power to see the future, teleport, read minds, and perform other tricks. The game knows when you’re stuck and gives you subtle hints. Lighting, lip-sync, cinematography, music, and more have been updated and enhanced to bring Telltale’s 2010 episodic season up to modern standards. See the episodic Sam & Max series through to its epic conclusion.

The game has been delayed twice: originally, it was set to launch in 2023, then at the end of November last year, they moved it to this spring, which is now behind us. Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse Remastered will be released on August 14th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC (Steam, GOG) and Nintendo Switch. It will also be playable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox One thanks to backwards compatibility. It will cost $20.
