Barbie Project Friendship – Official Announcement Trailer
Barbie Project Friendship launches October 25 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, and PC. The new game follows two Barbies, nicknamed Malibu and Brooklyn, as they work together to restore the Malibu Waves Community Center. Players can also explore the island and help other Barbie characters. This includes making ice cream with Ken, decorating scooters with Nikki, and helping Teresa fix up the arcade.
Other minigames include tennis, skateboarding, music and more. Players can also decorate Barbie's room and unlock stylish new outfits. While the main adventure is single-player only, the minigame supports local two-player co-op.
Barbie Project Friendship shares a universe with the Netflix children's series Barbie: Dreamhouse Adventures and Barbie: A Touch of Magic. Outright Games developed it in collaboration with Ann Austen, who worked on both series. The voice cast from the Netflix series are also reprising their roles in the upcoming game.
