Barbie Project Friendship heading to Switch

Today, Outright Games and Mattel announced Barbie Project Friendship. The game arrives for Switch on October 25, 2024.

Barbie Project Friendship is a heartwarming adventure game that takes players on a friendship-filled journey. More information can be found in the following overview:

Follow the dynamic duo, Barbie “Malibu” Roberts and Barbie “Brooklyn” Roberts as they set out to save the run-down Malibu Waves Community Center with a total glam makeover, supported by friends and family. Along the way, unlock fabulous outfits, explore new areas of the community center, and dive into fun activities with familiar faces like making ice cream with Ken, renovating the arcade with Teresa, and customizing scooters with Nikki.

The game was created with the support of television series head writer Ann Austen, who has produced and developed numerous Barbie animated series and specials, including the iconic hit series Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures and Barbie A Touch of Magic, which serve as the world in which Barbie Project Friendship is set. Featuring the original English voice cast from the TV series, fans and children can play the game’s main adventure solo or invite a real-world bestie to join in a series of mini-games in two-player local co-op.

Speaking on today’s announcement, Mattel’s Erika Winterholler said: “We are looking forward to bringing more Barbie adventures to a new generation of young players on all modern gaming platforms and PC for the first time. With Barbie Project Friendship, players can expect to create cherished memories with friends, embodying the spirit of fun, friendship, and creativity that Barbie represents.”

Outright Games’ Stephanie Malham added: “It is an honor to work with Mattel on such a profound and beloved brand. Barbie is an icon and role model for children across the globe, and we are so excited to bring the adventures of Malibu and Brooklyn to life.”
