The Upin & Ipin Open World Kampung Game Will Be Out This Month

The Southeast Asian kampung life will be playable in digital open-world form later this July.

Developer Streamline Studios announced that Upin & Ipin Universe will launch for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch this 17 July. To sum it up, the game lets you control the duo children as they explore the Southeast Asian village countryside and partake in mischief-making, cooking, and avenues of play one expects from kampung folk.

“Upin & Ipin Universe is a vibrant open-world adventure that brings the charm of tropical Southeast Asian village life to players worldwide. Inspired by the beloved Upin & Ipin animated series, it offers a living, breathing world filled with authentic sights, sounds, and traditions—crafted by Malaysians, for the world.

From bustling markets to quiet rice fields, it captures the essence of kampung (village) life—fireflies at dusk, swaying coconut palms, and the aroma of home-cooked meals. Play as Upin and Ipin on a heartfelt journey, uncovering local legends, helping their community, and immersing themselves in Malaysia’s rich culture, rooted in the heart of Southeast Asia.”

Key features & release date trailer are below. This is certainly an all-ages game you should play with your kids, and hopefully represents Malaysian kampung life in a good light.
