Scribblenauts Showdown Announced for PS4, Xbox One, and Switch

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developer Shiver Entertainment have announced Scribblenauts Showdown.

The new game will launch across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch on March 9th. Featured above, you can view the game’s announcement trailer.

The game expands upon the series puzzle-action mechanics by introducing two new party game modes, for up to four players.


Here’s the game’s key art, and some screenshots:

Here’s a rundown on the game, via Warner Bros.:


In the game’s Showdown mode, up to four players face off and imagine their way to victory through card-based strategy and creative skill. “Wordy” mini-games require unleashing the best object or character from the vast Scribblenauts dictionary of over thirty thousand words to outsmart an opponent. Action-oriented “Speedy” mini-games reward the player who completes a given challenge first. A board game style map displays players’ progress. With multiple ways to make up ground, every player has a chance to win, which keeps the excitement going until the end!

In Versus mode, two players can go head-to-head in more than 25 mini-games that vary in every session. The mini-games can also be enjoyed by a single player. Versus mode allows continuous play of games by shuffling players into game after game for non-stop fun.

Sandbox mode, the Scribblenauts series’ cherished creative playground, allows one or two players to solve objectives in eight new levels by summoning any object they can imagine and earn hidden Starites and achievements. Players can also let their imaginations run wild by unleashing whatever objects they can think of and watching them interact in unexpected ways.

Adding to the family fun, players can either choose, or design, their own original Scribblenaut to represent them throughout the game, all drawn in the classic Scribblenauts art style. The Scribblenaut can be further customised with unique clothing and quirky accessories by earning Starites and completing achievements.
