Interplay seems to be getting back on it's feet, roping Earthworm Jim creater Doug TenNapel back into the fold.

TenNapel will serve as a creative consultant for the sequel, currently titled Earthworm Jim 4, though no other details on the game were disclosed. The company added that TenNapel will be developing a new Earthworm Jim animated series and feature-length film.

Seems Interplay might actually have some splash money now, hopefully they'll invest it in their decent franchises properly instead of trying to rape them for instant profits. They may even become a real company again.

Thanks to Pooperscooper for the heads up, and who I shamelessly stole that final line from.
