An adventure and platform game

It wasn’t a big secret: In May 2020, Microids announced a publishing contract with IMPS for the development of a The Smurfs video game.

The Smurfs: Mission Malfeuille will take the form of a adventure / platformer game where the little creatures will have to face once again the terrible Gargamel and thwart his Machiavellian plans to save their village and the entire forest.

Five Smurf games in the works

Although we have no video and only visual, the press release tells us something else: The Smurfs: Mission Malfeuille will not be the only title adapted from the comic since Four more Smurfs video games are in the works..

Then we will have a total of five games that “It will be phased out over the next five years.” and that it will explore different genres.
