Get ready for an exciting adventure with Bluey, the beloved animated character, as her latest game, 'Bluey's Quest for the Gold Pen,' is coming to consoles this May! But here's the catch: it's not just any console release.
The game is set to launch on May 28, 2026, for the Nintendo Switch and the highly anticipated Switch 2. And this is where it gets interesting: the physical version for Switch 2 will include the full game on the card, offering a unique experience for players.
Developed by the talented team at Halfbrick, known for their hits Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride, this game takes Bluey on a narrative-driven journey through her imaginative world. Players will join Bluey in exploring beautifully hand-drawn environments, inspired by the iconic 'Dragon' and 'Escape' episodes of the TV series. And what's more, the game's story is penned by the show's very own creator, Joe Brumm!
But here's where it gets controversial: the game features the original voice cast, bringing the characters to life. And this is the part most people miss—the game encourages family play, allowing players to pass the controller and share the joy. Imagine playing as Bluey, her sister Bingo, or even King Goldie Horns, all while enjoying a brand-new soundtrack composed by Halfbrick, Ludo Studio, and BBC Studios.
The story begins with a creative twist as Bluey's dad snatches the Gold Pen, sparking an adventure. Bluey and her family create a new world at the kitchen table, where Bingo becomes Bingoose, a fearless explorer, and Dad becomes the self-proclaimed king. But will Bluey and Bingoose succeed in their quest to retrieve the pen?
