Check out the launch trailer here

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.

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

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”.

Begin the adventure of multiple lifetimes with Dinosaurs and Ancient Gods. Untold riches and new dangers await in the caverns below…

17 November, 2023 — Wizards of the Coast today released The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, the latest set for the world’s original, and most popular trading card game, Magic: The Gathering (MTG). The call of adventure brings players back to the prehistoric-inspired realm of Ixalan, where mystery has revealed itself in the deep underground caverns, promising treasure, and undiscovered dangers. As the factions of Ixalan race to the hidden core of a subterranean world, who will you join on your expedition? The Lost Caverns of Ixalan was released on Arena on 14 November and launched for tabletop today.

Race to the Core

Four rival factions descend into the caverns of Ixalan, racing to be the first to uncover the source of Ixalan’s power. Will you walk with Dinosaurs of the Sun Empire, seek fame and riches with The Brazen Coalition of Pirates, revel in demonic shadows with the Legion of Dusk, or heed the call of the depths from the shamanistic Merfolk? Each faction is represented in a preconstructed The Lost Caverns of Ixalan Commander Deck, ready to be played straight from the box for both new and experienced players. Below are their respective face Commanders.

Delve Into New Mechanics

As you discover The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, you decide how to conduct your expedition with new thematic gameplay. The new mechanic Descended can trigger effects based on the number of permanents put into your graveyard on a given turn, remembering the lessons of those who were lost. Treasure delvers can turn the mundane into the magnificent with the new Craft mechanic, which transforms artifact cards into powerful new items when paying mana and exiling the required components. The third new mechanic Discoveris for those who pursue knowledge at all costs, allowing players to exile cards from the top of their library until they find a non-land card of equal or lesser mana value to cast for free or put into their hand. No matter which tools you choose, each mechanic will provide unique gameplay directions which may benefit you or be your undoing.

A Collaboration 65 Million Years In The Making

The next Universes Beyond collection arrives with Jurassic World, bringing the excitement and thrills of the blockbuster franchise. Featuring charismatic characters, clever dinosaurs, and fantastic locations, these cards will delight fans of Ixalan and Jurassic World alike and can be found occasionally in Set Boosters, in every Collector Booster and some Secret Lair drops. Hold a piece of the park with a total of 26 collaboration cards including Ellie and Alan, Ian Malcolm, the classic Tyrannosaurus.

Discover Special Guests and Treasure Troves

Debuting with The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, powerful Masters release-level reprints will be aesthetically reimagined with the introduction of Special Guests. These guests will bring their unique and powerful effects as they join the expeditions into the depths. Also included in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan are a host of powerful artifact reprints in dazzling new art. These can be excavated as non-foil Box Toppers in Draft and Set Booster boxes, and in traditional foil in Collector Booster boxes. 

Adventure In Style

The natural beauty of Ixalan will bewilder with gorgeous new styles and returning fan favourite treatments collect. Found exclusively in Collector Boosters, extremely rare Cosmium Neon Ink cards lie, waiting to be uncovered by the bold. The Gods of Ixalan remind us of their power with Showcase Frames designed to represent the horrific beauty of the underworld.

The Access controller would not have been possible without the support and feedback from consultants and community playtesters across the U.S., Europe, and Japan.  Some of these experts were recently provided with the final product so they can start customising their favourite setups. Hear from accessibility consultants Paul Amadeus Lane and Cesar Flores, AbleGamers’ Peer Counselor Aaron Price, SpecialEffect Ambassador Paul Phillips, and Insomniac Games’ Accessibility Design Researcher Sam Schaffel about how the Access controller opens up new ways for them to enjoy gaming that previously weren’t possible:

New tutorial guides and videos

As a versatile PS5 controller kit with a novel design and expansive customisation options, the Access controller includes a lot of new features and functionality for players to explore. SIE is pleased to launch a new support hub that includes detailed how-to guides and video tutorials, including steps to tailor the Access controller’s hardware and software features to create a setup that suits you best.

We hope these resources help you get a better understanding of how the Access controller can benefit your play experiences. As we get closer to launch, we’ll provide even more information to help you discover all the ways it can make gaming more accessible.
