Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are returning to voice Bill and Ted in a new video game called Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure: Arcade. Art of Play Interactive is developing the 16-bit-inspired game for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
The game sends Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted "Theodore" Logan through 15 side-scrolling levels. Players encounter historical figures including Billy the Kid, Socrates, Napoleon, Beethoven, and Genghis Khan, facing them in minigames to recruit their help. The gameplay includes brawling, hand-crafted pixel art, and an '80s rock soundtrack.
Players can complete story mode solo or with a friend using couch co-op. Finishing the story unlocks arcade mode, minigames, and additional content.
Art of Play Interactive plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign on BackerKit in February 2027. The campaign will offer digital and limited physical editions, along with merchandise and apparel. The game does not yet have a release date. The studio previously developed The Phantom, adapting an established property into retro-styled action.
