It’s official: the world of Upin & Ipin is expanding beyond TV and YouTube into the open-world sandbox genre with Upin & Ipin Universe, a joy-filled adventure inspired by Malaysian village life, launching July 17, 2025, on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 4 & 5, and Nintendo Switch.
✨ A Nostalgic Open-World Inspired by Southeast Asia
Set in the iconic Kampung Durian Runtuh, this game lets you roam freely through lush rice fields, misty jungles, cozy warungs, and firefly-lit rooftops—all without timers, loading screens, or fail states. Play as the iconic twins, Upin & Ipin, either solo or together in offline split-screen co-op.
You’ll help villagers, grow crops, cook Malaysian dishes, race RC cars through banana groves, battle spinning tops, and discover secrets hidden deep in the jungle. This is not just a game—it’s a digital slice of kampung life.
👥 What TheBigBois Think: “Finally, a Co-Op Game With Real Heart”
Our team—known for our obsession with quality couch co-op games—is excited about Upin & Ipin Universe not just for its cultural depth, but also for how accessible and family-friendly the gameplay loop appears to be. Whether you’re farming with a friend or racing across rooftops on bikes, this feels like a local multiplayer game that genuinely rewards curiosity.
We love that there’s no combat, no microtransactions, and no fail states. It’s just open-ended, joyful co-op exploration. For anyone who enjoys titles like A Short Hike, Animal Crossing, or It Takes Two—this could be a gem.
