For real life?!
Following on from its first mobile app game, Bluey: The Videogame has been revealed for consoles and PC – and we’ve got the first trailer.
If you haven’t heard of Bluey, you probably don’t have or know any kids. For the unaware, it’s an award-winning Australian children’s cartoon that has taken the world by storm.
Developed for preschool/infant school children, Bluey has proven to be immensely popular. The series is a joint venture by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the BBC, and can be watched worldwide on Disney Plus.
Now, to capitalise on the overwhelming success of the cartoon, BBC Studios has partnered with Outright Games to release Bluey: The Videogame on PC and consoles. Best of all? It’s out in November.
