In 2004, Peppa Pig burst onto the scene, providing preschool kids the much needed break from their parents and carers; a break that they deserved. In the years since, the show, the franchise and the brand as a whole has continued to hit the highest of heights, with the TV show being accompanied by not just the odd video game experience, but the real-world Peppa Pig World for good measure. Now though, with Outright Games (they previously having covered PAW PAtrol) behind it, it’s time for My Friend Peppa Pig to prove once and for all that this little star deserves the virtual limelight too.
Available to purchase and download right now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia and PC, My Friend Peppa Pig will be able to take the youngest fans of Peppa off on a fun-filled adventure, one in which the fast iconic characters will all play significant parts.
It’s priced at £34.99 so My Friend Peppa Pig is certainly no cheap throwaway option to have – especially when the target audience will probably be just as happy watching the show on repeat – but it does promise much.
Selling itself as just like being ‘in the TV show’, My Friend Peppa Pig will let you create your very own character, will let you dress them up, and will let you take them off on a journey. You see, old Daddy Pig has lost his glasses (AGAIN!) and it’ll be up to you and to Peppa to help him find them.
Passing through a variety of locales, including the beach, the museum and Potato City, My Friend Peppa will let you jump in muddy puddles and meet and greet anyone and everyone who cares for a chat – we’re going to be fuming if Suzy Sheep, Miss Rabbit or Danny Dog don’t rock up for at least five minutes.
It promises to be the best Peppa Pig game yet and we’ll be sure to let you know how this plays out in our full review of the game on Xbox – and yep, after spending more hours than we care to remember with Peppa squeeking out of our TV, we know the target audience very well indeed.
