My Little Pony Open World Game in Development

My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery, a new open-world game set in the magical universe, is currently in development and slated to release in May. The upcoming game follows the Gen 5 cast of characters introduced in the 2021 My Little Pony: A New Generation movie on Netflix.

While the franchise has remained popular over its more than 40-year run, the fifth generation has ushered in a wave of new fans thanks to the film's successful run on the streaming platform. A Zephyr Heights Mystery will be the series' first PC and console game since 2022's My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure, which is currently available on the PlayStation Plus Extra tier.

Family-friendly video game publisher Outright Games released an announcement trailer for the upcoming open-world adventure title, My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery. Fans can play as Sunny, Izzy, Misty, Pipp, Zipp, and Hitch as they uncover the secrets behind the mysterious magic causing chaos in the Zephyr Kingdom. Each character can be styled with in-game accessories. Not to mention, the title also features two-player co-op and a collection of mini-games. My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery is slated to release on May 17, 2024, for PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Outright Games is also the publisher behind a slew of kid-friendly titles like Bluey: The Video Game and the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed game, which ties into last year's Mutant Mayhem movie. Drakhar Studios is developing My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery, and like Outright Games, has a history of working on family-friendly games.

Alongside fictional franchises like Narnia, the world of My Little Pony has long been a fantasy setting that would make a great open-world game. Sure, the family-friendly franchise isn't for everyone, but A Zephyr Heights Mystery could certainly serve as a great introduction to open-world gaming for younger audiences while satisfying the tastes of the
