New Peppa Pig video game launches

Published on: 17th March 2023

Players can take a world tour with Peppa and involve family and friends in Peppa Pig: World Adventures, the follow up to hit game My Friend Peppa Pig.

Outright Games, in partnership with Hasbro, has launched Peppa Pig: World Adventures on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC. Fans can join Peppa on the trip of a lifetime and build a house in Peppa’s neighbourhood including their own family and friends in this new, interactive story driven game.

Inspired by several episodes of the hugely popular TV series, fans can fly, drive and sail to some of the most famous places in the world including New York, Hollywood Boulevard, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and Buckingham Palace in London. They can explore in style with a host of new outfits and accessories and complete a greater variety of quests and mini-games than ever before, encountering new experiences along the way. Fans will also meet new characters as well as some familiar faces on their travels.

Players can also become interior designers and create a home decorated with souvenirs from their trip in Peppa’s neighbourhood. In addition to making a home, players can really test their creative skills and bring their family and friends into the story and them look like their favourite characters.

There are multiple features to make the game accessible for younger players including a guided tutorial at the start, a simple and intuitive menu and narration throughout, as well as easy and simple to use mechanics which require the same buttons of the controller so children can easily internalise them.

‘’We knew we had to find exciting new adventures and locations for this game and after being inspired by episodes of the TV series where Peppa travels, we felt that would be a great fit for what we were trying to achieve,” said David Moral, lead producer from Petoons. “It meant we could add more variety to the gameplay and also work in some exciting but simple mechanics for players to enjoy such as driving through the famous New York traffic. We’re very proud of our work on this game and this global beloved brand and we can’t wait for everyone to play it.’’

Beth Goss, CEO of Outright Games, said: “We have had the honour of working with Hasbro across fiour titles and it has been a delight to bring the global celebrity Peppa Pig onto new platforms. We are now seeing children of pre-school age and their parents embracing video games, allowing for fans to enjoy Peppa Pig in new and exciting ways.”

Peppa Pig first aired on screens in 2004 and is now distributed in 180 countries. Peppa Pig: World Adventures is the second Peppa Pig video game to be released in two years following the huge success of 2021’s My Friend Peppa Pig

Eugene Evans, senior vice president of Business Development and Digital Licensing from Hasbro, said: “We’ve enjoyed working closely with Outright Games and developers Petoons to make a game that brings the best of the TV series and brand to consoles and PCs worldwide.‘’
