Objectively the best email I got today was from East Side Games who I can only assume made some kind of Monkey’s Paw wish that all their games would be awesome but the disastrous unintended consequence of said with is that they can only make games from IP’s that I am completely obsessed with. (Which works out great for me!) I absolutely loved their previous game, Trailer Park Boys: Greasy Money (Free) which was seriously just a masterfully combined fan service with gameplay. A lot of the time when you see these games that utilize an IP, it’s really just a skin on top of an otherwise boring game. That was not the case with Trailer Park Boys, which has me really hoping the upcoming It’s Always Sunny: The Gang Goes Mobile sees the same treatment.
East Side Games is keeping their cards super close to their chest on what the game actually is, but we know it features The Gang and you have the ability to “collect fan-favorite characters" with some mechanic that involves tapping. (Which is pretty much exactly how Trailer Park Boys was structured.) It’ll explore gags from the show, as well as various storylines and iconic moments as well, which pretty much guarantees the McPoyles are going to be in there in some way.
The premise of the game involves Frank coming into some dirty money which he needs to hide, and so, of course, he recruits The Gang to do his bidding. No gameplay details beyond those I’ve already mentioned have been revealed, but it seems safe to assume based on Trailer Park boys that you’ll be doing a lot of weird little tasks that fit in with the Always Sunny universe and the characters in that universe doing … what they do. Mac, Dennis, and Dee will be arguing about scams while Charlie does … Charlie things.
Maybe the above Charlie note means something, maybe it doesn’t, but we’ll probably find out when the game launches later this year. In the meantime, you can just wait around for its release by subscribing to and browsing r/The_Dennis, as it’s objectively the best place to worship our Golden God. Oh, and you can sign up for news on their web site.
OMG IASIP is GOAT... can't wait for this!!!
first of all, this is silly. a show like this does not need this kind of tie-in (tho i’m sure enough white, high school to college age men are going to plunk a fair amount of change into whatever drek gets shoveled at them). second, if this thing *has* to exist and it wants any hope of being good it really needs to be modeled after the mobile game the gang gets addicted to, but with the same deconstructive approach the show takes to sitcoms applied to the f2p mobile market.
Check out the Trailer Park Boys game, it totally changed how I felt about these tie-in games because it's done absurdly well.
The trash man is in there.
