Bradley the Badger Makes a Surprise Return in a Brand New Action-Adventure
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Day 4 Night studios revealed Bradley the Badger at The Game Awards 2025, transforming the classic platforming character into a reality-bending third person action-adventure game coming to Steam.
Platforming veterans might remember Bradley the Badger from past adventures, but the character is stepping into an entirely different genre for his next outing. Developer Day 4 Night studios officially revealed Bradley the Badger during The Game Awards 2025, showcasing a third person action-adventure that trades traditional mascot platforming for reality-warping mechanics. Instead of just jumping over obstacles, players wield godlike developer powers to transform the game world on the fly.
The announcement trailer highlights a clever twist on familiar level design. Players manipulate the environment in real time while guiding Bradley through recognizable yet distorted worlds. It is a creative approach to level progression that lets you rewrite the rules of the stage to help Bradley make it home in one piece. For anyone who grew up with classic character platformers, this meta-narrative shift offers a refreshing spin on familiar tropes.
While the project is currently confirmed for Steam, the concept opens up plenty of interesting potential for community speedruns and creator content once it launches. Being able to actively bend the game code to solve traversal puzzles means every playthrough could look completely different.
