Step aside, Barbenheimer, a new crossover is about to shake the gaming world with Barbie Roblox.
Gamefam developed Barbie DreamHouse Tycoon on Roblox, bringing one of the world's most iconic and recognizable toy characters to the world's most popular co-creation platform. The game officially releases on October 6, 2023, with players who want to play Barbie DreamHouse Tycoon on Roblox through the game's page once it goes online.
Mattel, Inc., owners of the Barbie IP, feels confident about this release. The game recorded three million unique visits during its beta phase. Fans have been enamored by Barbie DreamHouse Tycoon because the first-ever official Barbie Roblox game is jam-packed with endless imagination and features everything fans could ask for, including the chance to build their very own DreamHouse, live out various careers, and unleash their inner fashion icon.
Barbie joins Roblox Tycoon world
As one would have surmised through its title, Barbie DreamHouse Tycoon joins the popular tycoon genre on Roblox. In this game, players will be able to build a luxurious DreamHouse for up to four floors, with players getting to decorate the DreamHouse with 30 different kinds of rooms, including a yoga studio, office, recording studio, vlogger room, and two walk-in closets! In addition, players can add a movie theater, game room, bowling alley, indoor and outdoor kitchen spaces, a rooftop tennis court, and even a helipad. Players can also visit their friends' DreamHouses, or hang out together in the game's central hub, the Malibu Town Square.
“With so many fantastic iterations of Barbie over the years, this felt like the right time to give Barbie – one of the world’s best-selling toys and a fashion icon for more than six decades – the chance to find her feet on Roblox,” says Mattel Global Head of Digital Gaming Mike DeLaet. “As one of the most instantly-recognizable brands in the world, we're so excited for Barbie’s Roblox debut and look forward to her connecting with an all-new community of fans.”
