Garfield Is Getting A New 3D Platformer On Xbox, And People Seem Hyped For It Already
OSome Studio is developing Garfield: Escape from Monday, a new 3D platformer coming to Xbox in September. The game tasks players with navigating Garfield through his dreams across three distinct worlds and dozens of levels, with the goal of waking the cat up and reactivating his taste buds.
The game’s visual aesthetic draws comparisons to original Xbox-era titles, adopting a retro visual style that has already caught players’ attention. The premise centers on a nightmare scenario triggered after Jon feeds Garfield spinach lasagnas inspired by Chef Monday’s recipe, populating Garfield’s dreams with unwanted vegetables and sugar-free candies—foods the notoriously lazy cat would desperately want to avoid.
The announcement has generated immediate community interest, with significant social media engagement already materializing. A Wario64 tweet about the game accrued approximately 1,000 likes and nearly 100,000 views within a single hour, indicating strong grassroots enthusiasm from gaming audiences. This early reception suggests players are genuinely excited about the prospect of a Garfield-themed platformer.
The game represents an attempt to capitalize on nostalgia for both the Garfield franchise and classic 3D platformer design, a genre that has seen renewed interest in recent years. OSome Studio appears confident enough in the project to target a September release, though specific details about availability beyond Xbox and other potential platforms have not been detailed in available reports.
