In news you probably didn't expect, THQ Nordic announced via Twitter today that it's remastering 3D platformer SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom. The game, which has you defending Bikini Bottom from an onslaught of robots, originally launched on PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube in 2003 and became a fan favorite, winning a 2004 Kids' Choice Award.
The tweet, which you can read below, reveals the remaster appropriately called "Rehydrated!" is coming to consoles (PS4, Xbox One, and Switch) and PC.
