What’s the deal with The Smurfs these days? Are the little blue dudes still popular, or did that evaporate after Sony’s dodgy animated movies? We’re not sure, but Microids is banking on the franchise, announcing a new 3D adventure developed by Asterix & Obelix developer OSome Studio. We’re not sure this press release could possibly get anymore French!
“Thanks to this trans-generational license and the talent of OSome Studio, a long time Microids partner studio which worked on several family games, we are confident in bringing together all gamers in the wonderful world of The Smurfs,” Microids vice president Elliot Grassiano explained. “The worldwide success met by The Smurfs will also allow us to increase our brand awareness overseas and position Microids as a major player internationally.”
There’s no release date set, but the new story will apparently remain “as faithful as possible to the original material” with plenty of “humour, thrills, friendship, suspense, and action”. Presumably it’ll also release on PlayStation 5, but no platforms have been confirmed at this time.

I think Microids needs to chill on the new games. They are still fixing Blacksad and theres been no news on the XIII remake since its delay last year
This is the type of smurf that could smurf up the whole smurf if we're not smurf.
What the smurf is this smurf?
Not into smurfs but for those who are into smurfs then this might be the smurf that people have been smurfing to smurf.
Are Smurfs still a thing? The last game I played about them was on the Colecovision
Yes please. Love the asterix games. Refreshingly simple. I’m all over a smurf game
I'd settle for the full, original cartoon run to be available to purchase physically.
@Hordak yes. A million times yes
