Retro platformer series Dizzy is back for a new game from its original creators, who are really happy for you to know it’s made with AI
The legendary platformer series Dizzy is making a comeback with a new installment developed by its original creators, the Oliver Twins. The bipedal egg protagonist first appeared in the late 1980s and became a prolific franchise, spawning 16 releases across platforms including the ZX Spectrum, NES, and Game Gear between 1987 and 1992. Though the series slowed significantly after the turn of the millennium, the Oliver Twins remain committed to reviving the franchise.
The new Dizzy game was announced during the creators’ talk at a recent event. Notably, the Oliver Twins have been eager to highlight that the upcoming title is being developed using artificial intelligence—a decision that has become a focal point of their announcement and marketing messaging. This revival represents both a nostalgia-driven return for fans of the retro platformer era and an example of classic game properties being reimagined through modern development practices.
