Move over, bad guys! Everyone’s favourite half-man, half-dog, all-hero is ready to leap back onto our screens. Following the massive international success of Dog Man: Mission Impawsible, publisher Mindscape and developer Floor 84 Studio have officially announced they are teaming up once again.
Get ready, because Dog Man: Bark in Action is officially launching this autumn! The best part? It’s dropping worldwide across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, PC (Steam), and Xbox Series X|S.
If you thought the first game was a treat, this sequel is pulling out all the stops to kick things into high gear.
The Plot: Defeating Dr. Scum’s Sinister Scheme
The city is in absolute chaos once again. The villainous Dr. Scum has deployed mind-controlling “Hypno Screens” all over town, turning innocent townsfolk into his mindless minions. It’s up to Dog Man, the Supa Buddies, and a few familiar faces to bust up the screens, smash Dr. Scum’s plans, and rescue their friends.
What’s New in Bark in Action?
Floor 84 didn’t just recreate the first game—they’ve expanded the universe in nearly every direction. Here is what players can look forward to:
- A Roster of 10 Playable Heroes: You aren’t just limited to shifting between Dog Man, Li’l Petey, and 80-HD this time. You can phone in massive backup from characters like Commander Cupcake and Chief!
- 60 Action-Packed Levels: Spread across 6 brand-new worlds, you’ll get to explore iconic series locations like Cat Jail and Robo-Time Industries, alongside hidden Mystery Levels.
- Couch Co-op Multiplayer (Finally!): For the first time ever in a Dog Man game, a second player can jump right into the action. It’s the ultimate family-friendly, couch co-op setup where teamwork unlocks special character abilities to crack puzzles and beat bosses.
- Supa Gadgets & Outfits: Collect sprockets to unlock wild new gadgets and harvest yarn to craft exclusive outfits for the Scarlet Shredder and Cat Kid.
“Our goal was to take what made the first game special and kick it into high gear, and I think we put together a very strong result.” — Matthew Vroman, Creative Director at Floor 84
