Publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment and developer Outright Games recently announced Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Xbox One. The title will launch this fall on October 8th, with a release in Australia and New Zealand set for December 6th.
It is indeed a relatively a cute-looking adventure, replete with charming music and Scrat’s special brand of zaniness. If you squint, you might be able to mistake it for a Spyro experience, though instead of an adorable purple dragon, there’s a strange rodent at the helm.
See a glimpse of the aptly titled Scrat’s Nutty Adventure in the teaser trailer below:
Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure marks Scrat’s first solo outing in a game. Meaning this is a particularly special adventure. How exactly will the bumbling saber-tooth squirrel fare? You’ll have to play to find out. In the game, players take on the role of Scrat as he ventures out on his own to find his “cherished acorn.” Somehow, Scrat’s prized possession became lost in the Scratazon Temple.
Retrieving the acorn will be no easy task. To recover it, the squirrel must collect Crystal Nuts, legendary objects that serve as the only way for Scrat to access the temple and get back his acorn. Doing so requires him to navigate through many Ice Age locales, which will see the character traversing across burning hot lava, icy terrains, and other types of extreme environments.
While playing the 3D action-adventure, players will explore each of the locations to find treasures, which unlock a variety of special abilities. These powers will allow Scrat to learn new skills, such as jumping, higher, lifting much heavier objects, and more.

Soon fans will have yet another noteworthy collectible to add to their shelves. Brazil-based collectible manufacturer Iron Studios unveiled its new Ezio figurine, depicting the Assassin as he appears in the seminal Assassin’s Creed II. The 1/10 scale figurine will release in the second quarter of 2020, with a price tag of $119.99 attached for a standard edition. A “Deluxe” version is also scheduled to launch at the same time for $159.99. The more expensive statue will launch with a full diorama display case packaged inside. Preorders are expected to go live in the near future.
Iron Studios’ Ezio statue stands just over eight inches tall. The “Deluxe” edition’s diorama means the figure stands a little over 12 inches once Ezio is situated upon it. This hand-painted figure depicts the character in his famous pose, arms outstretched, both hidden-blades visible as though he’s going in for the kill.
For a closer look at Iron Studio’s Ezio figurine, check out the image gallery below, featuring pictures of both the statue and the diorama that will ship with the more expensive version.
This statue’s unveiling comes only days after DAMTOYS showed off its Assassin’s Creed Rogue figurine, which captures the protagonist, Shay Patrick Cormac, in stunning detail. At present, that figure’s release date and pricing information remain under wraps.
Since the days of AC2, and even the Shay-starring AC Rogue, the franchise has undergone quite a few changes. The games themselves, though they were always open world to a degree, have drastically expanded in scope. Even the basic gameplay mechanics have evolved over time. Ezio’s trilogy didn’t feature a dedicated crouch button, nor were there any of the RPG elements that helped make 2018’s AC Odyssey such a success.
