The game offers over 12 hours of story content, alongside exploration, mini-games, and cultural activities inspired by Malaysian village life.
The game was officially revealed during the Southeast Asia Summer Showcase, where the first trailer highlighted its colourful visuals, daily life mechanics, and local charm.
Upin & Ipin Universe aims to deliver a culturally rich experience for fans of the long-running series, while also appealing to new players through nostalgic gameplay and co-op features.
