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.
