Paw Patrol: Grand Prix could be the kart racer we’ve been waiting for. It could also be awful but we’re trusting Outright Games wouldn’t do that to the puppers.
This race-em-up, based on the popular children’s series, is only one of several games announced by family-friendly publisher OG Games, but it’s the one that’s got our attention. Why? After all, it’s not exactly aimed at us; Paw Patrol is a pre-school targeted programme and you can expect the game to follow suit.
Mainly it’s because we were so impressed with Paw Patrol The Movie: Adventure Calls. What struck us about that title was that it was fun without ever patronising its young audience and, given that OG was also responsible for that title, Paw Patrol: Grand Prix should follow suit.
However, it won’t be arriving till this September so if you’ve got small children, you’ll have to keep them busy until then. It’ll support up to four players and arrive on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, PC and Google Stadia.
The other new games announced at OG’s event, dubbed OG Unwrapped include:
- DC Justice League Game (coming to Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC in 2023)
- LOL Surprise! B.Bs Born To Travel (coming to Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, PC and Google Stadia on October 7th)
- DreamWorks Dragons: Legends of the Nine Realms (coming to Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, PC and Google Stadia in autumn 2022)
- Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova (coming to Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, PC and Google Stadia in October 2022)
If DC Justice League Game sounds a little vague, it’s because all that’s been revealed is a trailer, showing a cutesy Justice League and nothing else. LOL Surprise! B.Bs Born To Travel is a multiplayer fashion game, even if it does sounds like a Death Stranding spin-off. DreamWorks Dragons: Legends of the Nine Realms is an action adventure set in the How to Train Your Dragon universe, and Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova is another action adventure that draws upon the Nickelodeon Star Trek series.
You can watch the full OG Unwrapped presentation above, which also features a look at some previously announced titles.
