Paper Play Games, in collaboration with The Astrid Lindgren Company, has launched a new mobile game titled, “World of Pippi Longstocking.” This release marks the first Pippi Longstocking game in over a decade, offering an interactive experience where children can explore and create within Pippi’s world based on the Swedish children’s book character.

“Recreating Astrid Lindgren and illustrator, Ingrid Vang Nyman’s, magical world of Pippi has been a great honor for us,” says Jacob Berglund, Paper Play Games. “With ‘World of Pippi Longstocking,” we want to give children the tools to play freely and create their own stories. We simply invite them into this universe. A universe where nothing is impossible, and their imagination is the only limitation.”

"We are incredibly happy that a new Pippi game is finally being released, and Paper Play has really captured what makes Pippi so irresistible to children: Pippi does what she wants; there are no rules,” says Johan Palmberg, content manager, The Astrid Lindgren Company.

The initial release features Villa Villekulla as the central location, with plans to introduce more settings and characters from Astrid Lindgren’s stories in future updates.

“There are so many wonderful scenes, places and characters from Astrid’s stories to build upon, so if children love the game as much as they love Pippi, we have great opportunities to let the game and the world grow,” says Berglund. “Pippi’s dad’s pirate ship, Hoppetossa, with the pirate crew, Pippi at the circus and the candy store in town are some of our own favorite locations, all of which we have clear design visions for.”

The first version of “World of Pippi Longstocking” is available worldwide.
