While I wouldn’t say that Smurfs – Mission Vileaf was an underrated classic, it was still enjoyable enough that I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a decent, kiddy-focused 3D platformer (albeit only after you’d exhausted all the more obvious candidates).
Consequently, I was pleased to see that this morning Microids released a teaser trailer for The Smurfs 2 – The Prisoner of the Green Stone. Is it going to be a sneaky GOTY contender? Probably not, but judging from the trailer below, it looks like it’s going to deliver the same kind of fun that the first game specialized in.
Smurfs 2 arrives on Switch, PS4/5, and Xbox One/Series X on November 14th, so set your smurfing watches accordingly!
Publisher Microids and IMPS unveil today a first teaser and new screenshots for The Smurfs 2 – The Prisoner of the Green Stone, a 3D adventure/platform video game. Developed by OSome Studio, The Smurfs 2 – The Prisoner of the Green Stone is an all-new story releasing November 2nd, 2023 in digital as well as in retail for the European territories on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC in Europe.

About The Smurfs 2: The Prisoner of the Green Stone
Handy Smurf has created a revolutionary invention: SmurfoMix! However, it’s missing a key ingredient, the Green Stone, which lays in the greedy clutches of Gargamel.
He sets off on a mission to retrieve the famous Green Stone, a key ingredient that would greatly help him improve his invention, from Gargamel’s laboratory.
