What is Bad Magpie?
Bad Magpie is a narrative adventure from Milktooth about a magpie with one wing, an obsession with shiny things and no flock. A fallen star wants shiny trinkets and nothing else, and winning it over might just cure your loneliness.
You cannot fly, but there are plenty of other ways around: burn a meadow, drain a swimming pool or write off a car. The dense, non-linear open world runs on elastic cartoon logic, so screeching into a megaphone shatters glass and pecking flint sparks fires. You can rampage or sweep every corner for secrets.
When is the Bad Magpie release date?
It’s due in 2027, according to Xbox Wire’s Bad Magpie preview (10 June 2026). There’s no exact day yet. The Xbox Store shows a placeholder date, which isn’t an announcement.
