Mattel brings back equestrian adventures with Barbie Horse Trails

Mattel announced today that it is developing a new Barbie game with Outright Games, called Barbie Horse Trails. The single-player game puts Barbie back in the saddle for the first time since 2008 in a nature-inspired adventure where she explores the wilderness with her companion, Lucky. The game launches on October 10 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.

In the game, you can play as either “Brooklyn” Barbie or “Malibu” Barbie, to join a team called the Junior Rangers under the auspices of Ken’s aunt Lady Carson. The game features nature exploration, photography and archaeology in addition to equestrian pursuits.
