by

Skunkape Games is bringing back Poker Night at the Inventory, a remastered version of their popular crossover poker game originally released in November 2010. Players can enjoy the updated version on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam) starting March 5th.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

The Inventory, a popular underground club, has reopened after being closed for five years. Now you can play high-stakes No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em against four famous video game characters, complete with plenty of competitive banter and card-playing action.

Poker with Personality

The Inventory is back open after being updated to withstand earthquakes, and it’s the place to be for video game characters looking to relax! Come play No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em with Max, Strong Bad, Tycho, and The Heavy.

This fun poker game, brought to you by Telltale Games, lets you play against some famous characters. Get ready for a card game filled with big bets and playful banter!

Gratuitous Upgrades

Winning tournaments will unlock cool new table designs and card decks, each featuring artwork inspired by your rivals’ teams. Some of these unlocks even have special hidden effects that can change how characters look or even alter gameplay. Watch out for exclusive new items added with this update!

Collateral Damage

Sometimes, if you’re fortunate, an opponent who’s running low on money might wager a personal item instead. If you win against them, that item will be added to your collection and your Team Fortress 2 inventory!

I’m so excited about the re-released Team Fortress 2 items! Apparently, to win them, you have to really show off your skills and knock out each enemy when they’re super low on health – when they’re at their absolute worst! It sounds like a fun challenge.

  • The Iron Curtain – A minigun adorned with the finest of Soviet irons and mahoganies, this prized member of the people’s munitions cache could belong to just one person instead: You.
  • Enthusiast’s Timepiece – Traditionally acquired strictly through amicicide, the Enthusiast’s Timepiece can be yours to cherish, simply for knocking a man out of a poker tournament.
  • Crimestomper Combo – With the Lugermorph and License to Maim in hand, nothing will stand between you and your life-long dream of being a Freelance Police officer.
  • Dangeresque, Too? – Looks like you’re going to have to jump… into a hot new look! With this brand new pair of Dangeresque shades, you’ll always look and feel your best.

Your Table Awaits

In Poker Night, the conversations and playful teasing between players are just as important as the cards themselves. Each character you face has a unique personality, revealed through their stories and how they play the game. Here’s who you’ll be up against tonight:

  • Max – One half of the crime-fighting team known as Sam & Max: Freelance Police, Max is a three-foot-tall hyperkinetic rabbity-thing with no impulse control and an old German Luger hidden somewhere on his person. Where he keeps it is none of your damn business, but you can win it off him if he remembers where he is for long enough to toss it on the table.
  • Strong Bad – Back in the mid 2000s, Strong Bad licensed away his handsome and cool likeness for a point-and-click adventure game, and he’s been stuck doing promotional guest appearances ever since. When not frequenting secret backroom poker games to grouse about how “none of you chumps can handle my style,” he can still be found answering the occasional email at Homestar Runner dot com.
  • Tycho – A connoisseur of life’s finest things, Penny Arcade‘s Tycho frequents The Inventory for its storied history, its immense library, the esteemed company one finds around its gaming tables, and the opportunities all of the above provide to absolutely wreck a bunch of fools at cards.
  • The Heavy – A mercenary from Team Fortress 2‘s RED team, the Heavy isn’t sure how he got here for tonight’s game or who these strange baby men around the table are. But since he is here, he’ll do what he always does: march forward, slowly squishing the tiny baby men beneath his feet like tiny baby ants. Then he will be the last one standing, and hopefully they’ll let him go home.

Return of a Cult Classic

Originally launched in 2010 and taken off sale in 2019, Poker Night was a unique, casual game created by the team behind popular episodic adventures like Sam & Max and The Walking Dead: A Telltale Series. This updated version has been carefully remastered by Skunkape Games, a small studio made up of people who worked on the original game at Telltale.

  • Recently Renovated – The Inventory and its guests look better than ever, with a top-to-bottom visual refresh, featuring higher resolution models, a more detailed environment, crisper animation, and new lighting.
  • Now With Even More Fiddly Knobs – In addition to tuning how much table talk you want to hear, you can now change the starting buy-in amount to literally raise or lower the stakes. There are also some new graphics features to up the filmic ambiance, like optional cinematic motion blur and film grain (they’re off by default).
  • Actually Follows the Rules of Poker – The team stripped Poker Night‘s original poker code down to parts, scraped the gunk away, and rebuilt it better than new. Poker Night at the Inventory now plays a far more accurate game of poker, and your opponents will make more informed decisions that better fit their play style and personality.
