SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated is an upcoming 3D platforming video game based on SpongeBob SquarePants. It will be released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam on June 23, 2020.[2]

Rehydrated is a remake of the Heavy Iron Studios version of the original Battle for Bikini Bottom, which was originally released in 2003. The player controls SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy to defend Bikini Bottom from a robot army created by Plankton. Rehydrated includes all of the original game's content and adds a new multiplayer mode, which will feature content that was cut from the original game.[3]

Rehydrated is being developed by Purple Lamp Studios and published by THQ Nordic. It was officially revealed on June 5, 2019; the first gameplay footage was shown at Gamescom 2019 a month later.[4] Special physical editions were made available for pre-order in October 2019;[5] digital pre-orders became available on April 16, 2020.

Plot

The game will follow the same plot as the original. THQ Nordic's announcement featured the following overview: "Are you ready, kids? The cult classic is back, faithfully remade in spongetastic splendor! Play as SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy and show the evil Plankton that crime pays even less than Mr. Krabs. Want to save Bikini Bottom from lots of rampant robots? Of course, you do! Want to underpants bungee jump? Why wouldn’t you! Want to join forces in a brand new multiplayer mode? The battle is on!"[6]

Concept art

There have been online petitions from fans wanting a Battle for Bikini Bottom remake as far back as 2014.[7][8][9] According to Gematsu, the game will be "faithfully remade in spongetastic splendor."[6]

THQ Nordic created a Flash-animated teaser trailer to announce the game. In it, SpongeBob wears his helmet from the original Battle for Bikini Bottom and even does the original pose from the box art. The trailer was released alongside a piece of concept artwork, showing shaded artwork of the playable characters: SpongeBob on top of a defeated robot, Patrick eating a throw fruit, and Sandy swinging on her lasso.

Rehydrated will also feature content that was cut from the original iteration of the game, including a cut boss fight with Robo-Squidward.[3] A well-known speedrunner of the original game, known as SHiFT, helped to test the remake and consulted with the developers.

Changes

This list will be incomplete until the game releases.
For level-specific changes, see the level's article.
  • The graphics and visuals have been improved. As part of this, many of the tikis and robots have received redesigns and the character models have changed.
    • Purple Lamp Studios noted that the original game's 3D model for SpongeBob was based on his season 2 design.[10] In this game, SpongeBob appears to be based on his season 12 design.
    • Other small details have also been added or changed to reference newer episodes since the original game's release.[10]
  • Robots' eyes will turn red when they chase the player.
  • Character animations are more fluid. Characters move and emote more naturally during conversations, and their mouths fully articulate instead of just flapping up and down.
  • Before a cutscene or conversation begins, the scene fades to black instead of a sudden cut.
  • A new sound effect plays when advancing through text boxes.
  • Golden Spatulas, Underwear, Patrick's socks, and level-specific items are contained in bubbles instead of simply floating.
  • The ESRB rated this game at Everyone 10+.[11] The original game was rated at Everyone[12] because the "Everyone 10+" rating did not exist until 2005, two years after the original game was released.[13]
  • The game's box art features SpongeBob in the same pose from the original game's box art, except his left eye is opened and he is not wearing an army helmet.
  • If the player uses Sandy's lasso move in mid-air, Sandy will now stay in mid-air for a second.

Trivia

SpongeBob making the surprised face.

  • In the Jellyfish Fields level, when SpongeBob says, "Oh my gosh -- you're bald!" he makes his surprised face from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (which he also does in "Scavenger Pants" as well as the online game SpongeBob Saves the Day!).
  • The box art uses the 2009-2017 version of the SpongeBob SquarePants logo instead of the version of the logo being used at the time of the game's release.
  • On the PS4 and Xbox One covers, the Krusty Krab can be seen in front of the lighthouse, but SpongeBot SteelPants is missing from the background. On the Nintendo Switch cover, SpongeBot SteelPants can be seen in the background while the Krusty Krab is missing from the shot. The PC cover is somewhere in between, so it can fit both the Krusty Krab and SpongeBot SteelPants. This is due to the size of the game cases, as the PS4 and Xbox One cases are wider, the Nintendo Switch case is taller, and the PC case is just about in the middle.
