Devolver Digital and DeadToast Entertainment have announced My Friend Pedro: Ripe for Revenge, a free-to-play mobile spin-off to the popular shoot 'em up released in 2019.
My Friend Pedro: Ripe for Revenge was unveiled alongside a debut trailer for the game, teasing a new adventure of blood, bullets, and bananas as Pedro sets out on a rampage to serve up some ice-cold revenge, with a sprinkle of bullets on top, following the kidnapping of his wife and kids. Check out the game's official announcement trailer below:

Additionally, there's a "Blood Rush" mode to really test your skills, but only if "your skin is tough enough."
Pre-registration for the "free-to-slay carnage" is available right now, with the game expected to launch on Android and iOS devices on August 5.
The Ripe for Revenge mobile spin-off follows on from the success of My Friend Pedro, which was first released on PC and Switch in June 2019 and was later ported to Xbox One and PS4. The crazy 2D shooter opened fire on a violent ballet of friendship, imagination, and one man's struggle to obliterate anyone in his path at the behest of a sentient banana.
IGN awarded My Friend Pedro an 8.5 out of 10, and commended the action-driven adventure for its delivery of "slow-motion gunplay, fantastical stunts, and score-attack-driven mechanics," which "all work together to create one hell of an adrenaline-filled ride, even if it doesn't give you much reason to come back to it once that ride is over."

Derek Kolstad has reportedly signed up to write the series and serve as an executive producer alongside David Leitch, the uncredited co-director of the first John Wick, who will executive produce the project.
The company behind the upcoming series is the same one behind the Disco Elysium TV series adaptation announced last year. It joins a growing list of video game adaptations that have been announced, planned, or are currently in production right now, including Amazon's Fallout TV series and Netflix's Cyberpunk 2077 anime.
