‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’ gets a retro beat ‘em up
Space Jam: A New Legacy is getting its very own video game – a retro-styled beat ‘em up, coming first to Xbox Game Pass.
Digital Eclipse – the studio behind retro projects such as Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Edition and Mega Man Legacy Collection – will be taking inspiration from those 90s beat ‘em ups for the new Space Jam game.
A perfect tie-in for a franchise that began in 1996.
Space Jam: A New Legacy – The Game tasks players with battling their way through Warner Bros. servers to take on a rogue AI. Playing as Bugs Bunny, Babs Bunny or LeBron James, it’s a weird and wacky take on the Space Jam universe.
It’s the result of a competition where entrants were asked to develop a new game idea – this was then made into the final game.
Space Jam: A New Legacy – The Game will be available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from July 1 and can be claimed through the member perks programme. It will then become free-to-play for everyone on Xbox and PC from July 15.
Additionally, the Xbox Series X|S is getting three new Space Jam controllers.
