Bradley the Badger, Day 4 Night

Video games, 2025


Bradley the Badger: a wild, satirical love letter to video games!

Bradley the Badger is an action-adventure created by Day 4 Night Studios that celebrates the art of making games. It blends exploration, traversal and mind-bending freeform puzzles, all framed by a satirical narrative that turns the creative process into the ultimate adventure. The reveal trailer, presented at The Game Awards 2025, captures this idea with a mix of 3D animation and live-action sequences featuring Evan Peters.
Maga Animation Studio handled the CG animation production for the trailer, including character animation for Bradley and the secondary characters, layout, modeling of different elements, some VFX, and both cinematic and in-game animations. Every movement was crafted to express curiosity, determination and humor, giving Bradley a distinctive personality and reinforcing the tone of the concept.

In fact, Bradley isn’t just any hero, he’s a determined badger who wakes up in a world that no longer makes sense.
Longing to return home, he embarks on a journey across unfinished game worlds inspired by iconic titles, facing challenges that will redefine everything he knows.
At the heart of this experience is the Kit, a powerful tool that lets players modify assets on the fly, transforming exploration, puzzle-solving and combat into something truly systemic and unpredictable. Wishlist today!
