While adapting popular IPs into games is nothing new, it’s rare for a publisher to focus solely on games for younger audiences. Outright Games specializes in family-friendly experiences, adapting popular children’s shows into playable titles. The company has recently helped produce games centered around franchises like Bluey, Paw Patrol, Transformers, Peppa Pig, and many more.
Adapting these IPs for a younger crowd comes with its own unique challenges – for many kids, these titles represent some of their first experiences with video games, which means they need to be accessible to a much larger degree than typical releases. It’s also important to balance a game that both adults and kids can enjoy, so that parents can play alongside their children. Outright Games has launched a slew of these titles in the past year, including the release of Bluey: The Videogame this week.
