In this open-world mystery adventure, everypony can return to the kingdom of Equestria. Choosing from any one of the Mane Six, players will work together to tame an unstable magic which has sent the cloud city of Zephyr Heights out of control. Along the way, players can find more ways to have fun with replayable minigames like Pipp’s Photo Shoot, Hitch is on the Trail, and Sunny’s Smoothie Delivery. Special collectibles, photo opportunities and a closet full of accessories are also available for fans to customise their personal hooftastic style.

Bringing the magic of friendship to new heights, MY LITTLE PONY: A Zephyr Heights Mystery also includes the option of two-player co-op, to uncover the magical mystery with another special pony pal!

From its launch in 1983, MY LITTLE PONY has evolved from an iconic toy line into a worldwide entertainment universe. In September 2021, MY LITTLE PONY: A NEW GENERATION launched on Netflix and introduced a new generation of ponies to a new generation of kids. The movie kick-started a new era for the brand, with a focus on inspiring today’s kids to explore, express and celebrate what makes them unique. MY LITTLE PONY celebrated 40 years of heritage in 2023, solidifying its status as a multi-generational brand with a global and timeless appeal among pony-loving fans.  Following the successful release of MY LITTLE PONY: A Maretime Bay Adventure in 2022, MY LITTLE PONY: A Zephyr Heights Mystery invites fans to return to Equestria and explore a whole new story of magic and excitement.

“MY LITTLE PONY has a timeless impact across generations and through our longstanding relationship with Hasbro, we plan to continue the legacy of MY LITTLE PONY for years to come,” said Stephanie Malham, COO of Outright Games. “With the upcoming launch of MY LITTLE PONY: A Zephyr Heights Mystery, we are committed to promoting the values of self-expression, magic and friendship that MY LITTLE PONY is best known for. With the addition of co-op, a brand-new storyline and exciting gameplay, we are sure fans of all ages will be thrilled to once again experience the magical world of MY LITTLE PONY!”

“Outright Games has a long history of bringing high quality, family-focused games to market and understands the lore, longevity, and magic behind MY LITTLE PONY,” said Eugene Evans, SVP Digital Strategy and Licensing at Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro. “Growing our digital games portfolio through licensing and development remains a key strategy for us. We are committed to bringing our beloved brands to life for players in new and imaginative ways by working with creative partners from all over the world.”

MY LITTLE PONY: A Zephyr Heights Mystery will be available physically on the 17th of May on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5.
