Patrick Star is finally getting his own game! Announced during the August Nintendo Direct, *SpongeBob Squarepants: The Patrick Star Game* will launch on October 4th and put the lovable pink starfish in the spotlight. While Patrick has been a recurring character in many SpongeBob games, including last year’s *The Cosmic Shake*, this marks the first time he’s the main star of his own adventure.
This time, it’s not a typical collect-a-thon or platformer. Instead, *The Patrick Star Game* embraces a physics-based sandbox experience reminiscent of *Goat Simulator*. The game throws players into a vibrant, open-world version of Bikini Bottom, where they can wreak havoc as Patrick. The reveal trailer showcases a variety of wacky activities, like smashing through walls as a rolling ball, piloting boats, skydiving with an umbrella, and unleashing chaos with exploding pies and paint tubes.
Don’t worry, the entire original voice cast is back to bring their iconic characters to life. You’ll encounter familiar faces like Gary, SpongeBob (who acts as a quest giver), Sandy, Squidward, Mrs. Puff, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and more. The game is designed to be a sandbox of mayhem, but there are also objectives and challenges to complete. Earn jars of mayonnaise to unlock new outfits, or simply explore the world and see what kind of trouble you can get into. It’s all up to you!
*SpongeBob Squarepants: The Patrick Star Game* will be available on October 4th for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Get ready to experience Bikini Bottom from a whole new perspective – through the eyes of a chaotic and loveable starfish.
