Based on the original Netflix series, the new game will let players step into the world of Unicorn Academy
April 16, 2026 AMSTERDAM - Publisher Mindscape today announces a collaboration with Spin Master to develop a new video game launching on all major platforms based on the global fantasy-adventure franchise and Netflix series Unicorn Academy. Under the agreement, Mindscape will hold worldwide rights for both the digital and physical editions of the game.
Unicorn Academy is a fantasy-adventure series that follows Sophia and the rest of the freshman class as they bond with their unicorns and unlock their magical powers. The series is adapted from The New York Times bestselling book series originated and published by Nosy Crow, written by Julie Sykes and published in North America by Penguin Random House. With strong performance across platforms, Unicorn Academy has ranked as a top-performing fantasy animated series in Netflix’s Kids & Family category, generating more than 500 million global YouTube views (over 2.2 billion viewing minutes), 110 million social media views across TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat, and 35 million global audio and music streams, highlighting the brand’s resonance with audiences wherever they engage with content. Unicorn Academy is also complemented by a multi-category consumer products program led by toys, apparel and lifestyle.
This new collaboration marks a significant milestone, bringing the Unicorn Academy universe to mainstream and loved gaming platforms including Nintendo Switch®, PlayStation® and Xbox® for the very first time. The upcoming game will introduce an interactive adventure that deepens the lore.
Yves Saada, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Spin Master: “Bringing the magic of Unicorn Academy to major game consoles and PCs will give fans an immersive new and interactive way to engage with the characters and their adventures. Mindscape’s commitment to crafting engaging, high-quality experiences makes them a natural fit for this beloved franchise.”
“We are very excited to work closely with an experienced leader in children’s entertainment like Spin Master and are thrilled to bring this beloved universe into the world of gaming,” said Mark Huijmans, CEO of Mindscape. “The game invites fans and gamers to create their own character, build friendships, and experience life at Unicorn Academy through their own adventure.”
The game will be developed by the highly experienced German game studio Aesir Interactive, known internationally for its expertise in horse‑themed adventure games, including the acclaimed Windstorm series. Mindscape has collaborated successfully with Aesir for many years, making the studio a natural fit for bringing the Unicorn Academy universe to life in an authentic and engaging way. The game aims to translate the charm, friendship, and fantasy elements of the series into a rich, accessible gameplay experience designed for both existing fans and new audiences.
