Briefly: A whole new generation of gamers will finally get to play Day of the Tentacle, one of the greatest adventure games ever created, thanks to a newly-announced remaster from Double Fine. Day of the Tentacle: Special Edition will be out for PS4, Vita, PC, and Linux. No release date yet.
In addition, the newly-polished version of Grim Fandango is coming on 27 January for the aforementioned platforms. Dang, it will be nice to see Manny again after all these years. Here’s a video of the announcement.

Squeeeeeee!
I second that Squeeeeeee!
I wonder if remastered DotT Will include MM like the original did
Maybe it will contain the original DOTT which will contain the original MM
Or maybe a secretly remastered MM
OMFG! Cannot wait! Shame about Double Fine’s Sony relationship tho 🙁 Want on xbone!
I reckon it’s a pretty good chance that it’ll go multiplatform later.
Get the PC version. Chances are it will require very low specs to run well.
Grim looks so good!
I find it interesting that if a game called Day of the Tentacle was to release today a lot of people would think it is a hentai game straight out of Japan. How the times have changed.
On a side note, hell yes!
Uh, that joke has been made since the day Day of the Tentacle was announced in the 1990s.
…sounded a bit suss back then, to be honest. 🙂
Now if someone could get the rights to remake The Dig me and @shane would be happy
YES. I could finally play it!
The Original is on steam $6
I don’t Steam, sorry!
DOTT doesn’t need it, just needs to be sold again.
HELL YES! My body is ready.
Many retro feels.
I wanted a HD remaster of Full Throttle
The way Grim Fandango gained traction and then the positive vibe coming from this announcement, I can easily see a Full Throttle update announcement at E3 2015, basically 6 months each between announcements then.
Day of the Tentacle is one of my favourite games. I wonder if it will still be sprite based.
Should be. I wouldn’t be surprised if Double Fine reused much of the code that went into Broken Age. That game used a combination of 2D sprites and 3D objects. The look and feel of Broken Age would suit Day of the Tentacle.
