Bradley The Badger blends original play mechanics with live-action sequences in a satirical storyline that is a commentary on videogames.
Bradley, the iconic star of numerous hit platforming games in the past, finds himself lost in strange new lands that, to him, look utterly alien and weirdly unfinished. Longing to return home, Bradley embarks on a journey to save his world and his friends at all costs, even if that means coming face to face with a revelation bigger than anything he ever imagined.
At the heart of the game is the Kit. It’s a tool that lets Bradley modify every unfinished asset he can find, just as if he was a game developer. It’s systemic, immediate, and completely transforms the approach to exploration, traversal, puzzles, and combat. Using the Kit and his trusty frying pan, Bradley must navigate worlds that players will find instantly familiar, but littered with unfinished elements. Over the course of the game, Bradley will explore, solve puzzles, defeat bosses, and unravel a broader mystery.
Bradley the Badger is directed by Day 4 Night Studios founders Christian Cantamessa (Red Dead Redemption, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor) and Davide Soliani (creative lead on Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Sparks of Hope, and Rayman in the Phantom Show).
Bradley is brought to life by Evan Peters (X-Men, Mare of Easttown, Dahmer, Tron:Ares) in both voice-over and live-action performance, bringing warmth, humor, and heart to the game’s bright-eyed mascot.
