We was invited to check out a bunch of games during our time at Gamescom and just so our wonderful friends over at Outright games had a bunch for us and one of those included a new Barbie game called Barbie Project Friendship.
A new barbie game you ask? Well we review all types of games and with Sawyer having a young daughter we can grasp a children's aspect to such a review and with how popular barbie has become. We was ever so happy to catch up with our good friends at Outright Games and check this great game out!
So what is Barbie Project Friendship?
Barbie Project Friendship is an upcoming adventure game developed by Outright Games in collaboration with Mattel. Set to release on October 25, 2024, the game celebrates Barbie’s 65th anniversary.
