German publisher Strictly Limited Games announces they want to rock you like a turrican, saying they will plan to announce a new Turrican game at gamescom, reviving this platformer that debuted on the Commodore 64 back in 1990. This even involves the original developers to some degree, as they say it's in the works at Factor 5. Here's the Turrican entry on Wikipedia for historical reference, and here's early word, which says they will open preorders after the official unveiling:

After three decades in dormancy, we welcome the return of a true legend. Developed by one of Europe's greatest independent studios of all time, Factor 5's Turrican series became one of the most acclaimed and well regarded video games of all time shortly after its release in 1990.

Now, teaming up with the original development team, Strictly Limited Games is excited to bring back this legendary IP.

On Thursday, August 27th an exclusive trailer and more about the special 30th birthday edition will be revealed at the gamescom Opening Night Live (20:00 - 21:30 CEST / 11:00 - 12:30 PST). After the reveal, we will celebrate the 30th birthday of Turrican by opening the preorders of the exclusive and limited editions - only available at strictlylimitedgames.com.
