Outright Games announces new details and release date of Patrick Star game

Outright Games continues its work on a series of children’s video games in collaboration with Paramount Game Studios and has announced details of its upcoming video game. The Patrick Star GameDeveloped by PHL Collective, this single-player sandbox game is set in the world of SpongeBob SquarePantsfocusing on the popular cartoon’s second protagonist alongside the title character, Patrick Star. The Patrick Star Game will be released on October 4, 2024 and will be available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam.

The Patrick Star Game is designed as a game where players have the freedom to explore Bikini Bottom in a sandbox-like adventure format. Players can interact with nearly any object in their environment to create physics-defying effects.

The game features various missions with familiar characters such as SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs, Sandy Cheeks and Plankton, while also taking players to iconic locations from the franchise such as Glove World, The Dump and Demolition Derby.

By completing tasks and collecting Patrick’s favorite jars of mayonnaise, players can unlock new outfits. The game will also feature voiceovers from the original SpongeBob SquarePants Cast, including Bill Fagerbakke as Patrick Star, Tom Kenny as SpongeBob and Clancy Brown as Mr. Krabs.

Stephanie Malham, CEO of Outright Games, was excited about the project and said:

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Nickelodeon/Paramount Consumer Products again. We are incredibly grateful to be able to expand our ongoing relationship in adapting iconic IPs into family-friendly video games. It is an honor to work on an iconic and beloved franchise like SpongeBob SquarePants. With The Patrick Star Game, we have created an interactive playground for fans to live out their own adventures in Bikini Bottom while paying tribute to the show’s wacky humor and lovable characters.

Additionally, Doug Rosen, SVP of Games and Emerging Media at Paramount, added:

Just in time for the 25th.^th To mark the 50th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants, we are excited to partner with Outright Games to launch a new game that, for the first time, focuses on the real star… Patrick.

Although I’m still a bit annoyed about Outright Games’ late 2023 release Bluey: The Video Game, in view of some surprise hits that SpongeBob SquarePants Video game adaptations have happened occasionally in the past – maybe it will come as a surprise… maybe not.
