PAW PATROL: DINO WORLD BRINGS DINO-SIZED FUN IN A NEW VIDEO GAME ADVENTURE
Welcoming players to explore Dino Island ahead of the pups’ return to the big screen this year
London, 8th April, 2026 - Outright Games, in collaboration with Nickelodeon, has today revealed PAW Patrol: Dino World, a new PAW Patrol adventure video game that sends the heroic rescue pups back into action on the prehistoric Dino Island. Launching 31 July 2026, the game delivers a fresh, story-driven adventure designed especially for young players and families.
PAW Patrol: Dino World video game tells an all-new story set on Dino Island, the prehistoric setting that recently debuted in Season 13 of PAW Patrol and will feature in the upcoming PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie™, arriving in cinemas globally in August 2026. The game invites young fans to step into the paws of their favourite rescue pups, including Chase, Marshall, and Skye for a new, play-driven adventure as they explore Dino Island, take on rescue missions and work together to help prehistoric pals in need.
Designed for children and built for up to two players, PAW Patrol: Dino World offers an accessible introduction to video adventure gameplay. Inspired by the movie, while telling an original story of its own, the game invites players to embark on a new rescue adventure - exploring the environment, solving light challenges and completing rescue missions across the island with controls thoughtfully tailored to preschool audiences.
Each pup brings their signature personality and skills to the adventure game, proving that no job is too big, no pup is too small. Chase, the police pup, can use his tennis ball launcher to trigger mechanisms and interact with objects across the island. Marshall, the team’s brave firedog, can shoot his water cannon to activate environmental elements, assisting dinos in distress. Skye, the courageous pilot, can deploy wings from her pup pack to explore hard-to-reach areas on the island. Players will also be able to seamlessly switch between pups and hop into their signature vehicles to explore the island, with additional playable pups, locations, and both new and familiar characters set to be revealed soon.
Exploration sits at the heart of the experience, with Dino Island offering a colourful, playful setting filled with opportunities to discover, interact and problem-solve. Whether playing solo or cooperatively, the game encourages teamwork, confidence and curiosity - key themes that have helped PAW Patrol® resonate with preschool audiences worldwide.
Produced by Spin Master and originally launched in 2013, PAW Patrol has grown into one of the world’s most successful preschool entertainment franchises. Now a global phenomenon, the brand spans multiple animated series, feature films, live experiences and a multi-billion-dollar consumer products base, continuing to engage young audiences all over the world.
PAW Patrol: Dino World is coming 31 July 2026 to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
