‘BLUEY: THE VIDEOGAME’ IS OUT NOW! FOR REAL LIFE
Get ready for an all-new Bluey adventure as Bluey: The Videogame launches today on consoles and PC. Created by Outright Games, the leading global publisher of family-friendly interactive entertainment, in partnership with BBC Studios, Bluey: The Videogame marks the highly anticipated video game debut of the internationally loved TV show.
Bluey: The Videogame is based on the Emmy® and BAFTA Award-winning global TV show phenomenon Bluey, which follows Bluey, a loveable, inexhaustible, Blue Heeler dog, who lives with her Mum, Dad and her little sister, Bingo. Bluey uses her limitless energy to play games that unfold in unpredictable and hilarious ways, bringing her family and the whole neighbourhood into her world of fun.
This interactive sandbox adventure video game allows players to explore the wonderful world of Bluey for the first time ever, in four player local co-op for the whole family to play together. Bluey: The Videogame is now available to play on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One.
Become immersed in Bluey’s wondrous world
Bluey: The Videogame features the unmistakable voices from the official English speaking cast of the show, including Dad, Bandit (David McCormack) and Mum, Chilli (Melanie Zanetti) as well as other voice cast members across the many localised versions of the game.
Visit iconic locations from the series including Bluey’s house, the Playgrounds, the Creek and the Beach – faithfully recreated and freely explorable in a video game for the first time ever. Players can uncover hidden references throughout each location or use the sandbox environment and its interactive items to facilitate free-play, acting out moments from the show through the medium of the video game.
The game’s soundtrack also features several of the iconic, chart-topping Bluey music tracks from composer Joff Bush alongside all-new music composed by the development team, inspired by musical themes from the original TV series.
Play together as a family
Players can play as Bluey, Bingo, Mum and Dad in up to four player local co-op fun for the whole family. Jump into mini-games straight out of the series including ‘Keepy Uppy’, ‘Ground is Lava’, ‘Magic Xylophone’ and an all new minigame created for the game, ‘Chattermax Chase’.
Accessibility features have been implemented to ensure that fans of all ages can experience the joy of Bluey. Both pre-school or older players can play at their own pace by jumping seamlessly between story quests, activities and exploration. Other features added to the game include the ability to toggle UI on/off, simple written on-screen instructions for early readers, and full voice-over throughout.
Discover a brand new four-part storyline
Join Bluey and Bingo on their school holidays as they create a special sticker book to record all their latest adventures. Make memories with the Heeler family by unlocking costumes, stickers and locations in episodic gameplay created in collaboration with BBC Studios and the show’s producers at Ludo Studio.
Stephanie Malham, COO of Outright Games said: “We’re delighted to celebrate the launch of Bluey: The Videogame, it’s an honour to be trusted with bringing such an iconic world to life, in a video game for the first time ever. We understand the great responsibility that comes with adapting these beloved characters and our goal throughout has been to create an experience that feels like stepping into an episode of Bluey. Families can sit down and enjoy playing together just like they have gathered to watch the show over the years. As with all our titles, we are dedicated to making Bluey: The Videogame accessible to fans of any age, including young players and their parents, by developing intuitive gameplay that faithfully captures the everyday family joys that are at the core of Bluey”.
Kevin Jorge Senior Producer Gaming & Interactive at BBC Studios said: “Bringing Bluey’s adventures to console and PC platforms for the first time is incredibly exciting. Alongside our friends at Outright Games, we hope that kids and families across the world love playing Bluey: The Videogame together as much as they do watching the show.”
