From the team behind the recent Smurfs games

Anyone fancy a new 3D platformer based around Garfield on Xbox?
Well, that’s exactly what we’re getting in the form of Garfield: Escape from Monday for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S (along with various other platforms) on September 24th, 2026.
This game is being developed by the team behind the recent Smurfs titles (along with some Asterix & Obelix titles), and we’ve mentioned before how we were impressed by The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf when it came out a few years ago:
In Garfield: Escape from Monday, you’ll play through the dreams of Garfield across three worlds and dozens of levels as you attempt to “wake up and reactivate his taste buds”. The initial images are giving off somewhat of an original Xbox vibe for us (in a good way though!), and we’re hoping OSome Studio will be able to impress with this one in September.
At the very least, there’s hype for it — the following Wario64 tweet racked up 1k likes and almost 100k views in one hour!
We’ll leave you with more details about Garfield: Escape from Monday down below.
“When you’re a lazy cat spending most of his time sleeping, having a nightmare can happen. But a nightmare full of vegetables and sugar-free candies, no way! After Jon fed him spinach lasagnas inspired by Chef Monday’s recipe, Garfield falls into a deep sleep…
To wake up and reactivate his taste buds, the laziest cat in the world will have to explore worlds filled with enemies and eat a gigantic deal of lasagnas! Fortunately Garfield can rely on Jon and his friends Odie, Arlene and Pookie. But also on his turkey, surfer and cowboy suits that will give him amazing skills!”
