As we just recently reported, there's an incoming expansion to the 2012 eShop hit, Mutant Mudds. Mutant Mudds was a critically and commercially successful “12-bit" platformer that won the hearts of many with its inspired visuals, chiptune music and smart level design. Talented players that successfully managed to complete the punishingly difficult Granny-themed DLC were treated to a teaser of some sort, evidently referencing this title.
In the latest issue of Nintendo Force, an article was dedicated to the anticipated expansion. Keen to emphasise that this game is not Mutant Mudds 2, Jools Watsham - Renegade Kid's lead - detailed that this was rather like a “stepping stone"; not quite DLC, but not enough to be a sequel. Fans can look forward to forty brand new stages, an extremely tough difficulty level and five unique worlds. One notable new feature is that secret pathways will be introduced, with Max being able to pass behind certain walls to discover hidden collectibles. The story will pick up where the first game left off, though we'll leave that spoiler free if you're yet to get to the end.
No release date is set yet, but the game is expected in “the next few months". We'll keep you posted when more information comes out. Are you excited for this? Were you a fan of Mutant Mudds? Sound off in the comments below.
Nintendo Force is currently close to funding its next year of subscriptions in its Kickstarter campaign.

Only for super players?Oh i can't get this!I'm not super enough.
I dunno if I want this. I personally think Mutant Mudds is hard enough as it is already.
Why does this Jools Watsham guy and Renegade Kid get so much coverage on Nintendo Life?
Does he have naked photos of all the staff members here or something??
When is @EvisceratorX (Mitch Vogel) going to get a staff position, because it feels like he's constantly writing articles for this site.
Xeodrifter is really well worth your money!
I have Mutant Mudds, but couldn't pass it even w/checkpoints.
Don't know if this will be for me. Maybe I'll get moon instead?
I really want Treasurenauts, but am starting to think it may not see the light of day.
@MasterBlaster
Because he's smart enough to provide a great deal of fan service and info. Also they make pretty good games from what i've played, so people are interested. When you are so open to the public and do things like a "Developers Diary" you put yourself on peoples radar and make yourself extra endearing. Smart use of social media is an excellent form of advertisement.
"Not Mutant Mudds 2"
You lost me. Not buying this.
"Story picks up where the last one left off"
What the heck?
So many really great 2D platformers available on the 3DS eShop now... Mutant Mudds is not one of them.
"For super players only".
Should read:
"For North Americans only".
I hate Renegade Kid, and the way they pretend Europe doesn't exist.
I wouldn't really care if none of their games reached PAL regions again to be honest, they're yet to convince me that anything they produce is worth my money.
I might try it, the first one had good level design but was kinda easy
"Not Mutant Mudds 2"
Dropped.
Only if you get a discount for owning the original. Renegade Kid titles are overpriced anyway... I'm not paying the original full price for DLC.
Not sure why they're shooting themselves in the foot by offering absolutely nothing new, that's basically saying you don't care if it scores badly.
I'm kinda curious what this actually is. It has all the earmarks of a sequel, but apparently it isn't. If this isn't a sequel, then what does the real sequel look like? I get the feeling Mutant Mudds 2 will be a departure from what we'll be expecting.
My gamer rage will not be able to handle this. MM was hard enough already.
There should be no complaints by this. It's more levels and that's fine with me. Call it a sequel, or Dlc I don't care.
Is this a like the Grannie Levels and Deluxe levels on the 3DS, free, or is this a new game?
Punish me. (And stop messing around. BRING OUT TREASURENAUTS ALREADY!!!)
Don't really care for RK anymore. I'll give a damn when more of their games are released here.
So, is this the Lost Levels of Mutant Mudds? I say bring it on!
Or, as I like to call it, Treasurenot.
Did the Queen kick Jools Watsham's puppy or something?
I didn't realize the EU folk had it so bad with Renegade Kid's games. My condolences.
Lets see if this one will appear in Europe.
Renegade Kid has pretty much given up on giving European gamers any games to play after they released original Mutant Mudds.
Still they did say that for example Moon Chronicles would come to Europe when all episodes are ready. Now all episodes are ready, but we still don't have the game.
Jesus... NL's comment sections... just plain horrible.
Would prefer Treasurenauts, but I really dug Mutant Mudds, so I'll be sure to look into this.
