Jay and Silent Bob Trade the Quickstop for a Farm Sim

Kevin Smith brought some unexpected news to San Diego Comic-Con: his cult classic characters Jay and Silent Bob are heading into the farming business—at least in video game form. Jay and Silent Bob's Joint Venture is an adult cozy farm sim in development by Nitrate Games, marking the studio's first foray into digital publishing.

Smith and Jason Mewes, who's voiced Jay across Smith's films and shows, have been involved in shaping the game's creative direction. It's a natural fit for characters who've spent decades in Smith's View Askewniverse, and the cozy farm sim genre—which has found real traction with audiences over the past few years—seems like an oddly perfect home for them.

The game is slated for a late Spring 2027 release on Steam and PC. That gives Nitrate Games a solid runway to develop what sounds like a genuinely playful project, one that respects the irreverent humor Smith's fans know and love while embracing the gentle, low-stakes appeal of the farm sim format.

It's the kind of announcement that feels very much in character for Smith: taking his characters into unexpected places, collaborating with developers who share his creative sensibility, and trusting his audience to come along for the ride. Whether you're a longtime Jay and Silent Bob devotee or someone curious about what an adult-oriented farming game even looks like, Joint Venture seems designed to land somewhere between comedy and genuine relaxation—which, honestly, sounds pretty good right now.
