G4tv.com recently aired an interview with Cliff Bleszinski, Jazz Jackrabbit 2’s co-producer and Epic Games’s lead designer. Near the end of the interview, Cliff answered viewers’ questions. A viewer named Shan D asked, “Where is my Jazz Jackrabbit 3?”
In response, Cliff stated that Jazz actually had a new pitch which was presented to his team members. After a while, however, talk about this new concept for Jazz Jackrabbit died down within the company.
However, Cliff says that he really wants this to happen, and the G4tv.com hosts agree.

I recall Cliff mentioning this in some XGR (Xtreme Gaming Radio or somesuch) interview from a while back. He described the pitch as a “modern take” on the old Jazz formula.
In other words, Jazz has become a ninja. No questions asked.
The interviewer also repeatedly referred to the game as “Jazz the Jackrabbit” and sounded nothing short of the Half-Life G-Man.

Whereas, like, y’know, Devan Shell, who’s the enemy in the original Jazz Jackrabbit, has kind of become this Uncle Junior type figure, wearing like a y’know, a Sweatsuit and everything, and uh, we pitched it around town, we got a couple nibbles, uh, everything’s kinda gone quiet on it. (quiet) But I want it to happen.
