Ms. Splosion Man announced

Due out autumn 2011.

The developer behind downloadable hits The Maw, 'Splosion Man and Comic Jumper has announced its next game: Ms. Splosion Man.

It's due out autumn 2011 and has an obvious connection with 2009's Xbox Live Arcade exclusive 'Splosion Man, a game Dan Whitehead awarded 7/10 in Eurogamer's review.

Twisted Pixel CCO Josh Bear told Joystiq: "We could have churned out new levels [for 'Splosion Man], but we wouldn't have had the time to add in new gameplay puzzles or cool new character stuff. But we didn't just want to do 'Splosion Man 2, it had to be something a little more interesting. That is why we decided to do MSM."

Platforms were unannounced, but given Twisted Pixel's previous when it comes to Xbox Live Arcade exclusivity, we're guessing Ms. Splosion Man will turn up on at least the Xbox 360. Announcement trailer is below.
