Free Update for Bluey: The Videogame Adds Muffin and Uncle Stripe

I heard Outright Games just spilled the beans about the second free update for Bluey: The Videogame. It’s up on Nintendo Switch now! So, here’s the thing — you can jump into the chaos as Muffin, the self-proclaimed flamingo queen, and her racket-loving dad, Uncle Stripe. Yeah, collect flamingos and rackets if that’s your jam. Plus, there’s this sticker book thing where you can swap stars and medals for quirky rewards.

You know, Bluey, right? It’s based on that show with the adorable but ridiculously energetic Bluey, this little Blue Heeler dog who just can’t sit still. Seriously, she’s always dragging her Mum, Dad, and Bingo into some wild game. The show? It’s got all the awards — Emmy, BAFTA — you name it.

They got the OG voices too! Like, Dad’s voiced by David McCormack and Mum’s Melanie Zanetti. So, you basically dive into Bluey’s world with places like her house all precisely laid out — it’s like being in the cartoon, kinda surreal.

The gameplay? Well, it’s episodic or something, with stories pulled straight from the fans’ favorite episodes. There’s this new four-part saga they cooked up with Artax Games, BBC Studios, and the Ludo Studio peeps. Flexibility’s key, they say. You get to roam, follow quests at your own lazy pace, and just veer off into whatever caper catches your fancy. Oh, and up to four people can join in. Imagine the chaos of playing as Bluey, Bingo, Mum, and Dad, and diving into games like Keepy Uppy or Magic Xylophone. Totally bonkers.

And the rewards? Think costumes, stickers, and even playable episodes or locations. It’s coming out both in stores and on Nintendo eShop for Switch worldwide on November 17, 2023. So, mark that date if you’re into this kind of thing — or don’t, I’m not your planner.
