Mindscape and Floor 84 Studio have announced Dog Man: Bark in Action for Nintendo Switch, a side-scrolling adventure platformer based on Dav Pilkey’s popular Dog Man comic series.
The title is scheduled to launch sometime this fall and will support local cooperative play, bringing the franchise’s comic-book humor and action to Nintendo’s hybrid console.
Dog Man: Bark in Action positions players in the series’ colorful universe with mechanics designed for both solo and couch co-op sessions.
According to the game overview released by the developers, players will control Dog Man and a roster of Supa Buddies across 60 action-packed levels.
The announcement highlights boss fights, ability-granting gadgets, and a cast of 10 playable characters drawn from Pilkey’s comics.
Rewriting the announcement in journalistic terms: Mindscape and Floor 84 Studio say players can switch between Dog Man and his allies to use distinct abilities, call in additional friends like Commander Cupcake or Chief, and employ teamwork to overcome enemies and boss encounters.
The developers describe level variety that includes locations such as the Cat Jail and Robo-Time Industries, time-based challenges, and hidden Mystery Levels.
Collectible systems will let players gather sprockets and yarn to unlock gadgets and craft alternate outfits for characters.
Feature highlights confirmed in the studio overview include:
- 10 playable characters with unique powers drawn from the Dog Man comics.
- 60 levels spanning recognizable Dog Man locales and challenge modes.
- Local two-player cooperative play that allows a second participant to join with distinct abilities.
- Unlockable outfits and gadgets obtained through in-game collectibles.
- A narrative premise centered on Dog Man’s effort to stop Dr. Scum’s Hypno Screens and rescue the city.
Dog Man is created by Dav Pilkey, who is also known for the Captain Underpants franchise.
The new title follows Dog Man: Mission Impawsible, which released on Nintendo Switch in 2024.
Mindscape, known for publishing family-friendly and licensed games, is handling this new release in collaboration with Floor 84 Studio.
Dog Man: Bark in Action will be available for Nintendo Switch and is expected to be distributed via standard retail and digital channels such as the Nintendo eShop.
The publishers have released an announcement trailer to showcase the game’s visual style and gameplay systems.
More details, including an exact release date and pricing, should arrive from Mindscape and Floor 84 Studio ahead of the fall launch window.
