Bluey's Quest for the Gold Pen Announced for Nintendo Switch: Original Story Adventure Coming in 2026
Bluey, the widely celebrated Australian children's animation, is expanding its universe with a brand new video game adventure for Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2, slated for release in 2026.
Officially titled 'Bluey's Quest for the Gold Pen,' the game is an original, narrative-driven adventure crafted by the series' own creator, Joe Brumm, alongside the renowned Brisbane-based developer Halfbrick, best known for their work on Fruit Ninja.
The title will be published in collaboration with PM Studios, promising an experience that captures the charm and creativity of the award-winning television series.
Set to arrive on Nintendo platforms and other gaming systems, Bluey's Quest for the Gold Pen stands out as a fresh story-led adventure, brought to life through fully original writing.
Drawing inspiration from the hand-drawn artistry featured in fan-favorite episodes such as 'Dragon' and 'Escape,' the game encourages players to explore and unlock Bluey's imaginative drawings—each uniquely animated by the beloved Heeler family.
The developers describe the experience as merging deeply engaging storytelling with gameplay focused on discovery, ensuring that fans of both the show and interactive media will find plenty to enjoy.
Players will embark on a journey through nine vibrant and adventure-packed levels, each reflecting iconic Australian landscapes.
From snow-capped mountains and sun-drenched golden beaches to verdant forests and the rugged outback, every stage promises a distinct setting filled with treasures to uncover, puzzles to solve, and inventive mini quests.
According to the development team, mechanics such as gliding, flying, and skating will allow families and young gamers to interact with Bluey's world in fun, magical ways.
The initial rollout for Bluey's Quest for the Gold Pen is confirmed for Apple devices, with a launch scheduled for December.
Console versions for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and other platforms—including a PC edition—are planned for a subsequent release in 2026.
By teaming up with Halfbrick, Bluey's homegrown roots in Brisbane are set to shine, creating an authentic connection between the show’s origins and its expanding digital presence.
With its emphasis on heartfelt narrative, creative exploration, and familial collaboration, Bluey's Quest for the Gold Pen is primed to become a standout title in the growing catalog of Switch adventure games.
As more details emerge ahead of its eShop debut, fans and families alike can look forward to a new way to share Bluey's adventures together—this time at home or on the go, exclusively with Nintendo and beyond.
