You just can’t keep this bear down

Super Rude Bear Resurrectionis a game that we’ve had our eye on for quite a while now. We gotour first proper lookat Tokyo Game Show in 2015 and were quite impressed.Super Rude Bear Resurrection‘s one-two punch of insanely tough platforming and useful death mechanic make for an intoxicating combination. See, every time you die, you leave behind a new corpse that can be hopped on to make subsequent runs easier.

Ray put it best inhis PAX East previewlast month when he said “It’sMeat Boymasochism turned up a notch, but with the caveat that failing can sometimes be the key to success.” This could very well be tougher thanSuper Meat Boybut at least those past failures might eventually add up to something positive.

It won’t be much longer until we learn exactly how difficult this game really is. Developer Alex Rose just revealed thatSuper Rude Bear Resurrectionwill release early next month — May 2 on PS4 and May 5 on Steam. It’ll be priced at $15. Commemorating the announcement is the new launch trailer that’s embedded above.

Anyone who’s itching for a tight-controlling masochistic platformer will want to keep tabs on this one. Just be prepared to die. And stop looking at death like it’s such a bad thing.
