Bradley the Badger
A 3D platformer blending Mario-like gameplay with Portal mechanics.
Bradley the Badger is a forthcoming 3D platformer for Windows, created by Day 4 Night Studios and set to be released by Focus Entertainment. The story follows an anthropomorphic badger mascot named Bradley, who is the star of his own game made by a fictional company called Dreamwoods Games. One morning, excited for his platforming adventure, he finds his world incomplete and corrupted by spoofed games—such as Badgerborne and Cyberbadger—that twist his theme into glitchy chaos. Players guide Bradley through these broken worlds, using a special game controller to manipulate black-and-white assets: resizing, copying, or turning Bradley into a ball to roll over assets or squeeze into small buildings.
The game was revealed during the pre-show of The Game Awards 2025 on December 11, with actor Evan Peters voicing Bradley. Its core gameplay is described as a mix of Mario and Portal, and it aims to be a love letter to video games, parodying titles like Bloodborne, The Last of Us, and Cyberpunk 2077. It will also include live-action sequences reminiscent of *Who Framed Roger Rabbit* and *The Lego Movie*. On June 10, 2026, Focus Entertainment announced a partnership with Day 4 Night Studios to publish the game.

Lore & Background
The game follows an anthropomorphic badger-like mascot named Bradley, who is the star of his own game, Bradley the Badger, developed from a fictional game company Dreamwoods Games. One morning, excited about his platforming game, he discovers his world has become unfinished through spoofed games from Badgerborne to Cyberbadger, all themed around Bradley but taken to a glitched turn. Players control Bradley through these worlds and, using a special game controller, can control the worlds around them through special black and white assets—resizing them, copying them, or turning Bradley into a ball to roll up assets or enter small buildings.
