They had me at 'Badass Elephant'. Two words that you wouldn't think would go well together and yet now that you've heard them, has there ever been a more perfect union of words?

Enter Tembo the Badass Elephant, a new game from the guys who brought you that other little title you may have heard of: Pokemon. When the peaceful Shell City is invaded, there is only one man - err, there is only Elephant that can save the day: Tembo, the titular badass. Guide Tembo as he stomps, gores and jumps his way across 17 sidescrolling platform levels in what the press release is calling the "heaviest action adventure of the year...weighing in at about seven and a half tons of fun."

Tembo the Badass Elephant is being developed by Game Freak with an assist from SEGA, who if we're honest, really, really needs a win in their column.
"We're delighted to be working with Game Freak to bring this heavyweight adventure to an audience we feel it will have relephants to," said John Clark, the Senior Vice President of Commercial Publishing for SEGA Europe. "It's a trunkful of fun and we think gamers are going to love it. Hopefully more than my rubbish elephant puns. " (There were a lot of puns in the release that were just too terrible to reprint here)
Tembo the Badass Elephant will be available this summer on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. Watch the trailer below!
