DIGITAL ECLIPSE AND ATARI BRING BARBIE REWIND

Digital Eclipse and Atari today announced Barbie™ Rewind, a game that intertwines a brand-new Barbie DreamHouse™ design game with 16 classic Barbie games from the Y2K era. Barbie™ Rewind will launch later this year on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. A Standard edition physical version will release for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, and Deluxe Physical Edition will release for Nintendo Switch. Pre-Order Barbie Rewind today here.

A cozy, creative world inspired by Barbie invites players to reimagine the iconic DreamHouse. Style each room with a fabulous collection of furniture, decor, and accessories inspired by real Barbie playsets released over the past 65-plus years. To access many of the playset items, Barbie will challenge players to reach achievements by playing a collection of Barbie video games from the 1990s and 2000s.

The 16 classic Barbie video games – including such favorites as Barbie™ Pet Rescue and Barbie™ Horse Adventures™: Blue Ribbon Race™ – have been enhanced to be accessible on today’s consoles.

Preorders for both the digital and physical editions begin today at atari.com. The Barbie Rewind Deluxe Physical Edition for Nintendo Switch comes in a premium, numbered box and includes an exclusive doll wearing an Atari t-shirt and blue jeans with long blonde hair with pink streaks and a full-color poster.

“We are excited to bring a new Barbie DreamHouse game and this wonderful collection of historic titles to a new generation of players,” said Mike Mika, Studio Head at Digital Eclipse. “Barbie Rewind celebrates Barbie’s contributions to 65+ years of fashion, decor and more through the unique lens of video games, connecting with longtime fans and modern audiences with an unmistakable pink charm.”

Barbie Rewind key features include:

Creative Expression: Choose from three retro Barbie DreamHouse exterior styles and mix-and-match rooms with 250+ pieces of furniture, decor and accessories inspired by real Barbie playsets through the decades – from a pink vanity to a ‘90s inflatable chair.
16 Classic Barbie Video Games: Play titles from 1991 through 2007, enhanced for today’s consoles, including Barbie™ Pet Rescue, Barbie™ Horse Adventures™: Blue Ribbon Race™ and the never-before-released Barbie™: Vacation Adventure.
Complete Quests to Unlock Items: Barbie calls players directly with design requests; completing them earns players XP and unlocks new decoration items.
Exclusive Digital Lookbook: Characters including Ken, Teresa and Christie will request design help, while players explore Barbie history through Barbie DreamHouses and playsets.

“For generations, Barbie has inspired confidence, imagination and empowerment in young girls and women,” said Ethan Stearns, VP of Games at Atari. “We’re excited that Atari can contribute to that legacy with Barbie Rewind. We look forward to seeing generations come together to style her DreamHouse and create new memories along the way.”
