As players, we’ll swap between SpongeBob and Patrick, each with unique abilities to solve puzzles, explore iconic locations like Neptune’s Palace, and face off against bosses. Patrick even gets new spectral skills like grappling and burrowing, while the original voice cast returns to keep the charm intact.

Editions & Pre‑Orders

Pre-orders are already live, and early buyers will receive the Natural Costume Pack DLC featuring Butt Flap Bob and Birthday Suit Patrick.

The Standard Edition ($39.99) includes the base game, while the Digital Deluxe Edition ($54.99) adds the Tidal Season Pass.

For collectors, there’s a Ghostly Edition with extras like a steelbook, keychain, and lenticular prints.

According to THQ Nordic, a larger bundle priced at $89.99 also includes Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated and The Cosmic Shake with its DLC costume pack.

The Tidal Season Pass itself brings two challenge DLCs, Plankton’s Portal and Search for SquarePants, alongside two costume packs (Search for SquarePants Pack and Double Deluxe Costume Pack).

And if you’re hungry for more, SEGA has announced SpongeBob content for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds starting November 19. There are even rumors of a Fortnite Chapter 7 collab later this month, though that remains speculative.

With so much happening, Titans of the Tide feels like the start of a busy season for SpongeBob fans. Whether you’re here for the nostalgia or the new mechanics, tomorrow’s launch is one we’ll all be watching closely.
