Thunderful Games has announced today as part of the Thunderful World conference (introduced by Mark Hamill, no less!), that Xbox console exclusive action adventure The Gunk will be launching with Game Pass on December 16th.
This is the game we first heard about last year, developed by the creator of the popular SteamWorld franchise (Image & Form), and starring a duo of gritty space haulers who must save the planet from a corruptive gunk parasite.
You can watch the new trailer above, and here's a bit of blurb about the game:
"The Gunk stars a duo of gritty space haulers, struggling to make a buck as they chance upon an untouched planet brimming with life. They’ve come to gather alien plants and other valuable resources, and it looks like they’ve hit the jackpot... As they start uncovering dormant secrets of a shattered civilization, however, they must save the planet from the curse of a corruptive gunk parasite while desperately keeping from getting caught in a spiral of festering mistrust."
For more details on The Gunk, check out our interview with the Image & Form team from last year!
Excited for The Gunk to arrive on Xbox Game Pass this December? Let us know down in the comments.

This looks pretty good, look forward to playing this
OMG why is everything coming out now? Soo busy T.T
This looks incredible and I'm hoping it'll have the same success as psychonaughts 2
I'm really looking forward to this one
Fantastic news, I will be purchasing the game to support the developers even it's on GP.
Love the Steamworld games.
GP keeps on giving!
Forza, Halo, and The gunk. So far that's three Xbox exclusives 😎😎😎
@FriendlyOctopus xbox has no games
@Chaudy MY LIFE IS A LIE 😫😫😫😫😫😫
@FriendlyOctopus 🤣🤣🤣
Can’t put my finger in it but this game has had me the most hyped since it’s reveal. If forced to pick due to limited time, I’m most likely to play this before Halo Infinite.
But December also sees the launch of Endwalker… ugh…. Such a busy month…
Man I'm excited for this game.
@Tharsman It feels like an original Xbox game, or a remake of a Dreamcast game. At least that's the vibe I'm picking up on 😊
@FriendlyOctopus 3 vs 15.
Image & Form haven't disappointed me yet, but i've been concerned by the virtual silence on this game. Honestly surprised it is getting a 2021 release date. Look forward to giving it a go.
@uptownsoul the could be lying because people do that but I thought MS helped with the funding, and they’ve said on record-
https://www.destructoid.com/developers-of-the-gunk-clarify-that-its-a-permanent-xbox-console-exclusive/
@uptownsoul but the interview referenced isn’t with MS it’s with the developers. If you read it and it was done by this website
https://www.purexbox.com/news/2020/08/interview_the_gunk_dev_talks_slimy_substances_exploration_and_the_xbox_series_x
If you read the part of the interview the developer themselves insist it’s a permanent exclusive. To me that holds a lot more weight than a marketing trailer. One can be inferred the other makes it and outright lie. Not saying they couldn’t be lying but Pure X straight up asked them and they confirmed it. That’s literally a point blank lie then.
@uptownsoul okay but the Developer isn’t MS. MS is only leaving room if Thunderfall wants to move it; doesn’t look like they do.
@uptownsoul do you actual own an Xbox? Use xCloud? Own a PC you can play games on? Any of the above?
@uptownsoul no it’s very relaxant to this conversation. Clearly you just want to be troll have fun with that.
@uptownsoul lol sure whatever you need to say to justify your trolling. Anyway, I have games to get back to playing.
