Maximum Entertainment has officially released Care Bears: Unlock the Magic in the United States on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation5.
The physical Nintendo Switch editions are also launching today (Tuesday, April 8). A PlayStation 5 retail version is scheduled to release on May 6.
Previously released in Europe across Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 (retail), and PlayStation 4 (digital), the game marks the franchise’s latest interactive offering. The game was designed in a partnership between Maximum Entertainment and the Care Bears’ brand owner, Cloudco Entertainment.
Designed for players of all ages, Care Bears: Unlock the Magic combines classic arcade-style gameplay with themes of teamwork and kindness that have long defined the Care Bears brand.
“Care Bears has always been about inspiring kindness, teamwork, and adventure,” said Ian Lambur, EVP at Cloudco Entertainment. “This game delivers an interactive experience that blends nostalgia with fresh storytelling, allowing fans to fully immerse themselves in the world of Care-A-Lot.”
In the game, players can choose from fan-favorite characters such as Cheer Bear, Bedtime Bear, and Tenderheart Bear. The title includes over 200 levels, mini-games, and collectible in-game items, encouraging exploration through the magical world of Care-A-Lot. Players can clear storm clouds, assist characters called the Whiffles, and use signature Belly Badge abilities to overcome obstacles.
Philippe Cohen, CEO of Maximum Entertainment, said the game was designed to appeal to both longtime fans and new audiences. “It’s an experience that lets players truly engage with these beloved characters in an exciting, interactive way,” Cohen said.
Care Bears: Unlock the Magic is now available on the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, and in U.S. retail stores for Nintendo Switch. European editions are available through major retailers including GAME, Argos, and Amazon.
