Designed primarily for kids, Upin & Ipin Universe is an open-world game that allows gamers to live the experience of growing up in Kampung Durian Runtuh. Among the activities that will be featured in the game are farming, fishing, critter catching, cooking, spinning tops, and remote car racing.
Despite its open-world nature, the game does have a main quest for those who are looking for an objective-oriented gameplay. Built using Unreal Engine 5, Upin & Ipin Universe promises over 12 hours of narrative campaign, according to its developer.
Naturally, Upin & Ipin will be the characters that gamers get to play in the game. That being said, they can also expect to meet other fan favourite characters such as Kak Ros, Opah, Tok Dalang, Mei Mei, Mail, Jarjit Singh and even Rembo the rooster.
Complete with dynamic time and weather that will affect the gameplay, gamers can choose the voice track and subtitles to be in native Bahasa Malaysia or English. It can be enjoyed as a solo game or through the split-screen co-op mode.
To make this game a family-friendly title, the Upin & Ipin Universe is an offline-only experience, while it also does not feature combat, microtransactions and fail states.
