However, due to the declining sales of 16-bit consoles, the decision was made to shift development to the PlayStation, where it released as Punky Skunk (1996).

It was envisioned as a multi-media project that would have included a comic book series and collectible holograms, but the game experienced a prolonged, difficult development period between 1993 and 1995.
