Barbie Project Friendship

Mattel and Outright Games release Barbie Project Friendship

Mattel and Outright Games today launched Barbie Project Friendship, on the PC and consoles.

Players can join Barbie “Malibu” Roberts and Barbie “Brooklyn” Roberts as they team up to save the Malibu Waves Community Center with help from their friends and family. It’s a test of the market in some ways, as it’s released broadly on most core game machines and it’s also coming out the same day as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
