The Game Awards is always good for a shock or two, and that was certainly the case last year, when the show revealed Bradley the Badger, the game from industry veterans Christian Cantamessa and Davide Soliani. A platformer designed in the classic style we all know and love from our childhood, but with a modern spin, it drew instant attention. Now, a few months on, there’s finally more news about the adorable little animal and his future exploits.
Per Focus Entertainment:
Focus Entertainment is proud to announce its collaboration with Day 4 Night Studios to publish Bradley the Badger, a new original IP from award-winning game creators Christian Cantamessa (Red Dead Redemption) and Davide Soliani (Mario + Rabbids). Unveiled during The Game Awards 2025 ceremony with a standout trailer, Bradley the Badger is an extraordinary adventure combining action, exploration and puzzles, all driven by a surprising and offbeat story packed with references to some of the greatest video games genres of all time.
Bradley the Badger is the first project from Day 4 Night Studios, founded in 2024 by a multi-disciplinary team of industry veterans who have contributed to global blockbuster franchises and have worked together for over fifteen years. The game draws on the extensive experience of its founders to take players on a journey that celebrates the art of video games.
“Focus Entertainment supports projects that carry a strong vision, a clear identity, and the promise of a unique experience for players. Bradley the Badger immediately stood out through its tone, personality, and potential.” said Vincent Chataignier, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Focus Entertainment Publishing. “We are very proud to partner with Day 4 Night, a studio founded by highly accomplished and experienced creators, to amplify the excitement surrounding this exceptional game and help it fully realize its potential.”
Bradley the Badger doesn’t currently have a release date.
