News: Join SpongeBob in a remastered adventure that takes you through his world with iconic locations from the show and upcoming film.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated is now available from THQ Nordic. 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, you can look forward to new content that didn’t make the original game release. With Rehydrated, you can experience a co-op multiplayer in SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom for the first time.

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 game world, for example.

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.
