Milktooth Announces Bad Magpie at Xbox Games Showcase

The wordless adventure about a one‑winged magpie will arrive on Xbox Series X|S and PC via Xbox Play Anywhere and Game Pass in 2027, giving the small studio a major visibility boost.

Overview

  • Milktooth premiered an official trailer for Bad Magpie during the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase and publicly revealed the game’s core premise and features.
  • Players control a one‑winged magpie that collects shiny trinkets to win the favor of a fallen star in a story told without text or dialogue.
  • The studio describes the game as a handcrafted, reactive world with slapstick comedy, ASMR‑style tactile interactions, unlockable disguises, and a dynamic musical score.
  • Milktooth confirmed a 2027 release on Xbox Series X|S and PC as an Xbox Play Anywhere title and said the game will be available on Xbox Game Pass.
  • Kotaku’s IGDB‑powered metadata lists a specific December 30, 2027 date but that entry is aggregated metadata and has not been announced directly by Milktooth, so release timing may be refined in later developer updates.
