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 series' older fans.
My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery isn't the only family-friendly title scheduled on the 2024 video game release date calendar. Princess Peach: Showtime is also right around the corner, launching on March 22. Princess Peach: Showtime previews have praised the heroine's solo outing as a creatively charming endeavor that gamers of any age can pick up and enjoy.
