Forget Cats, ‘Barkour’ Wants To Introduce Doggo Protagonists To Gamers In 2025
Woof woof
Over the last year or so, we’ve seen a fair few feline adventures head to Xbox — like Stray and Little Kitty, Big City — but 2025 could be the year our canine friends take centre stage.
Announced for a PC and console release next year, Barkour is aiming to deliver “an action/stealth game where you take on the role of a tail-wagging canine”. We can see this one being popular if the developer delivers on its ambitions!
“Step into the paws of a brave, four-legged special agent! In BARKOUR, you work for a secret organization where all agents are exceptionally skilled animals brought together by one goal: to save the world from the forces of evil (and mischievous cats)!
Prepare to face bizarre villains in entertaining, action-packed encounters! But don’t fret—they may turn out funnier than expected. Each mission is like an episode of a spy comedy, riddled with twists and turns, p(b)arkour-intensive platforming, and fetching locations!”
The team behind this weird and wonderful concept is VARSAV Game Studios; the developer that brought us the underrated Bee Simulator back in 2019. We’re looking forward to seeing what they can do with a different animal protagonist this time out!
Anyway, for now all we have is a broad 2025 release window for both the PC and console versions of Barkour, and the team hasn’t gone into any more specifics about the exact platforms it’ll launch on. Here’s hoping we hear more barks about the game’s exact launch plans pretty soon.
What do you make of this one so far, canine fans? Will it be a gamer’s best friend in 2025? Give us your loudest barks down below!
