Microsoft has announced the return of Summer of Arcade, and one of the featured games will be Splosion Man. The multiplayer cooperative game from The Maw developer Twisted Pixel still has no specific release date, but the announcement was accompanied by the news that the game will be playable at E3.

Twisted Pixel originally announced Splosion Man on April 1, and then announced that it wasn’t a prank the next day. The developers summed up their game quite succinctly:

Twisted Pixel Games, creators of the award-winning Xbox LIVE® Arcade title The Maw, announced today their plans for a new game – another heart-warming tale of courage and yes, even love. CEO Michael Wilford: “Screw that. Let’s just make a game where stuff blows up.” Creative Director Josh Bear: “Yeah, lots of ‘splosions . . . like a guy made out of ‘splosions, and he’d be like ‘splode ‘splode ‘splode! and then things die.”

Things Die?
“Yeah, but not like regular dying,” explained Art Director David Leung. “He’ll ‘splode people, and they’ll blow up into big steaks and ribeyes and stuff.” Lead Designer Sean Riley added, “Put it in a lab, with lots of glass to break. Then slow motion, and scientists diving away, being all like, Oh no, I can’t believe we made the ‘Splosion Man!”

Adds Sean, “But then they’d get ‘sploded too.”

A Game Rich in Tapestry of Story and Depth
No no no no. No. Just ‘splosions. We blow the whole budget on things getting ‘sploded.

Nothing Else?
What the hell else do you need?
