Following the success of My Little Pony: A New Generation on Netflix, which according to them debuted “as the #1 Kids Title in 86 Countries”, developer Outright Games and Hasbro have announced that a new gaming experience in the franchise will debut later this year. Titled My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure, you can expect it to launch on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in ‘Spring 2022″, with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S native versions to roll out by the years end.
Players will be invited to discover the next generation of ponies and their version of Equestria. In this single-player adventure, young gamers will play as the curious and determined leader of the Mane Five, Sunny Starscout, and help her discover her powers whilst getting to know her friends: the courageous Zipp, creative Izzy, kind Hitch, and confident Pipp as they come together to organise the best festival ever.
Promoted features of the game include:
- Collect accessories to customise the ponies and play together across mini games and in party mode
- Explore a rich and interactive world full of life and adventure.
- Feel the magic of Equestria and meet its different inhabitants.
- Enjoy five fun Minigames in single player or with a buddy!
- Experience an all-new exciting story.
With a level of customisation available, it would have been interesting to see a custom pony character creator, and allow fans young and old alike to introduce their original character into the events. Of course, the big question is, especially with time being put into new generation native versions, whether My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure will set a new standard for licensed games… or fall into the trap of being a subpar experience as many licensed games tend to do.
We’re delighted to continue our strong partnership with Hasbro and this time on the phenomenon that is My Little Pony. We’re incredibly excited they’ve entrusted us to bring the magic of the brand back to consoles and PC for the first time in five years. The game is going to be full of all the elements that make the brand so popular – fun, colour and friendship. We can’t wait to share it with everyone later this year
Terry Malham – CEO of Outright Games
