Publisher Numskull Games has revealed a brand new 8-minute overview trailer for Clive 'N' Wrench, launching on Nintendo Switch on February 24th, 2023.
Here, you'll get a solid breakdown on how the game will control, the abilities you'll have at your disposal (all of which will be available right from the off, by the way), the structure of the game, and more.
If that's not enough, Numskull Games has also released a separate 'Year of the Rabbit' trailer, which dives head-first into the game's 'Ancient China' world. It's all looking very positive, so if you're a fan of 3D platformers, this definitely looks like one to keep an eye on!
Here's a reminder of the overall premise for Clive 'N' Wrench:
"Clive ‘N’ Wrench is a brilliantly crafted 3D platforming paradise full of challenges, collectables, and charismatic characters. Starring Clive the rabbit and best friend Wrench, the monkey on his back, players will jump, roll, hover, and spin their way through time and space in a magical 1950’s refrigerator, on a heroic quest to thwart the tyrannical Dr Daucus.
"Players will adventure through the prehistoric ice age in Iceceratops, to ancient Egypt in Tempus Tombs, and even across the Wild West in 11 distinct levels each with its own boss battles with varying difficulties. Clive ‘N’ Wrench has been tailored for both experienced players and newcomers alike."

A 3D platformer, where you swing a monkey around to float down? Yes I am in
This looks like it has a lot of potential. Hoping the gameplay is good with no performance issues on Switch.
Interesting. Looks like they primarily combined the fluid movement mechanics of Mario 64 with the progression structure of Banjo-Kazooie.
Def. keeping my eye on this one.
Looks right up my street!
This seemed to be in "development hell" for so long that I'm still a little wary.
But it could be the case that they gave the game the TLC it needed rather than rushing it to shelves and patching the hell out of it after the fact.
I really like Clive's aesthetic though, who looks like a cross between Jazz Jackrabbit and Reader Rabbit, and the gameplay is reminiscent of the first wave of 3D platformers in the 90s.
Here's hoping that it's been worth the wait.
I remember hearing about this game's development quite a while ago and was interested, but kind of forgot about it.
Thanks for the reminder that it's coming out, and soon! The gameplay preview looks like it plays great, even more polish than when I saw it last. Will probably pick this one up on release day!
I'll have to give this a watch when I'm on my lunch break. I might not be as excited for this as I am for Kirby or Octopath II, however, I'm still looking forward to playing Clive 'N' Wrench.
Yeah, I was already sold when the game resurfaced last year. ^^
Looking forward to this one!
I’m keeping my eye on it. Looks good
Please be good, please be good, please be good...
Is this getting a physical release?
@ElRoberico
Yes, I placed a physical pre-order for it way back in May 2020, and that should finally be getting fulfilled!
It was a badge edition which features metal pin badges of the characters.
@Sisilly_G As I understand it, the game has been more-or-less finished for the last couple years. The issue has been on the publishing side of things instead of the development side. This whole game was made by one single guy in his spare time, so I'm sure it hasn't been easy for him to juggle all the different responsibilities like negotiating with a third party for physical distribution.
Looks fantastic. I’ll definitely be picking this one up when the back log thins out a bit.
Definitely getting it if a physical release is coming.
I can not watch this. I want to be surprised when I play the game. This looks awesome!

Hope it turns out well (would be nice if Nintendo Life reviewed it), because I'm definitely interested in this game and would absolutely get it eventually if that were the case!
Hopefully a review of this game really soon. I want this game to be good, can't wait!
