Outright Games has teamed up with UNICEF to release the DreamWorks Kids Bundle, which is available now digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch.
This three-games-in-one collection has been released as part of the publisher’s aim to “leverage their unrivalled access to the biggest IPs in family-friendly entertainment to raise over £200,000 a year for UNICEF’s Resources for Results Fund which enables the charity to rapidly support those in need during humanitarian emergencies and allocate resources to children wherever and whenever the need is greatest.”
Priced at £19.99 ($19.99), the DreamWorks Kids Bundle includes DreamWorks Dragons: Dawn of New Riders, DreamWorks Spirit Lucky’s Big Adventure and DreamWorks Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia with all profits from sales to go directly to UNICEF.
“Our partnership with UNICEF has been a huge success out the gate, and we’re overjoyed to see our audience respond so well to what we have always believed is a very authentic and natural alignment between our two brands,” enthuses Outright Games’ Nick Ricks. “These fundraising activities would not be possible without our amazing licensing partners and we’re so grateful for this opportunity to support our efforts in raising awareness for this vital cause.”
It is confirmed that there will be “additional high-profile video game charity bundles” from Outright Games, which are planned to launch in 2023.
