The colorful squad of L.O.L. Surprise! characters are about to conquer a whole new realm: video games.

MGA Entertainment Inc. (MGAE) partnered with Nighthawk Interactive to debut the L.O.L. Surprise! game, exclusively on the Nintendo Switch this fall. The game will arrive just as MGAE’s latest collection of L.O.L. Surprise! toys hits stores.

“The world of L.O.L. Surprise! continues to grow around the world,” says MGAE Founder and CEO Isaac Larian. “We are working closely with the team at Nighthawk to ensure key attributes of the L.O.L. Surprise! fall toy line — fashion, collectability, and outrageousness — are brought to life in gameplay in ways that are fun and meaningful to our fans.”

The L.O.L. Surprise! game will feature the brand’s new characters, fashions, and surprises. Additional information, including preorder details will be revealed in the weeks ahead.

Nighthawk Interactive previously developed titles such as My Friend Pedro, Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King, and Friday the 13th: The Game.
