Perry says new Earthworm Jim is sure to happen, will be 2D

"Our problem is that the team is all doing well in whatever they're doing right now. It's just a bunch of guys who all have their own thing. Everyone has their own company. So, to get them to stop what they're doing and work on a game is very difficult, but it's something they all want to do. We have our own little discussion group on Facebook. We've been having this discussion: when will this happen? When could we do it? What would make sense? We feel the Kickstarter thing would have been fun just to see how much money could be raised out of a Kickstarter, because we would have put a lot of effort into the video, for example. It's one of those things that, no one's got the time right now. I'm sure it's going to happen, I just can't tell you exactly when." - David Perry

Perry went on to say that another Earthworm Jim game would be in 2D instead of 3D. While there are discussions of the game going forward, it's a matter of when people have time to put it together.
