Unreal Engine 5 Toy Story game brings 1995 into 2024

Unreal Engine 5 Toy Story game brings 1995 into 2024

As a long-time fan of Pixar’s Toy Story franchise, it’s been an absolute joy to witness the evolution of these beloved characters over the past three decades. I still remember the first time I watched Toy Story in 1995, and it’s amazing to think that we might be on the cusp of a new era for Andy’s old pals.


Approximately three decades have passed since Pixar revolutionized animation with the release of Toy Story in 2025 – the world’s initial fully computer-animated feature film. John Lasseter’s groundbreaking movie has left a significant impact, leading to numerous sequels, merchandise lines, games, and more.

As a longtime fan of the Toy Story movies and someone who has been following the gaming industry for decades, I can confidently say that there’s no shortage of video games inspired by this beloved franchise. One particular gem from the past that stands out to me is Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear To The Rescue, released way back in 1999.

Unreal Engine 5 Toy Story game blows us away

TeaserPlay, the innovative gaming company behind Concept, is renowned for creating breathtaking builds. From an expansive Mandalorian role-playing game to a God of War update, a grandiose Black Panther adventure, and even a revisit to Shrek’s swamp – they never fail to surprise us. Their latest project, a Toy Story game built using Unreal Engine 5, takes us back to 1995 but with a modern-day twist for the year 2024.

In a fresh and new experience that brings back memories of the original, the Toy Story trailer hops between controlling Woody and Buzz. Featuring appearances by beloved characters such as Mr. Potato Head, Ham, and Rex, it reenacts iconic scenes from the classic film. (Note: This version tries to maintain the original meaning while using more common and natural phrasing.)

In an open-world Toy Story game with no restrictions, we could picture the experience of exploring places like Pizza Planet, attempting to catch up with the moving truck using RC, and dodging Sid’s mischievous traps. TeaserPlay’s idea additionally involves encountering Emperor Zurg, likely resulting in a challenging boss fight.

The trailer concludes with Buzz and Woody flying through the community, an action that would have been difficult for Disney Interactive to create in its 1995 side-scrolling Toy Story game. Nowadays, Andy’s toys are prominent in the Kingdom Hearts series. With no Toy Story 4 video game adaptation, it’s high time for some new Toy Story content.

In today’s gaming landscape where open-world titles are increasingly popular, and developers strive to evoke nostalgia for well-loved franchises, the prospect of a modern Toy Story game isn’t far-fetched. With a touch of fortune, someone at Disney might come across TeaserPlay’s creations and recognize the potential for substantial profits from such a game.
