At gamescom 2026, the indie game Bad Magpie was playable at the Xbox booth. Players control a one-winged magpie separated from its flock, hopping instead of flying, pecking and carrying objects to collect 20 shiny stones. Actions like pecking flint, burning grass, and calling through a megaphone open new paths, teaching the world's rules through trial and reaction.
Milktooth announced its new game Bad Magpie during the Xbox Games Showcase 2026 broadcast on June 8, 2026. The game is a puzzle adventure starring a one-winged magpie that steals shiny objects and causes chaos throughout a city. The announcement trailer showed gameplay blending cute visuals with destructive acts, such as burning flower fields and attacking animals. Bad Magpie is scheduled for release in 2027 on Xbox Series X|S and PC. It will support Xbox Play Anywhere and launch on Xbox Game Pass. The indie project was developed with support from the UK government. The game's protagonist is a magpie with a single wing and a weakness for shiny things, which drives the puzzle and action mechanics. No specific release date within 2027 was given.
