Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir Set Crossover
Two mega children’s franchises are teaming up for an epic year-long global crossover event: Outfit7’s “Talking Tom & Friends” and Miraculous Corp.’s “Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir.”
Per Miraculous Corp (which is a joint venture between Mediawan and ZAG) and Outfit7 (an Ekipa2 subsidiary), “this exciting partnership will deliver fresh, fan-first experiences across both digital and physical spaces, blending the best of both brands to captivate audiences worldwide.”
The crossover festivities for “Talking Tom & Friends” and “Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir” will begin with two video game events this summer, with more in-game action to follow later this year.
From July 31 through mid-August, in the mobile game “Talking Tom Hero Dash,” players can play as “Miraculous” character Ladybug to defeat the Rakoonz and restore justice to the world.
Meanwhile, within the Toya Studios-developed Roblox game “Miraculous RP: Quests of Ladybug & Cat Noir,” “Talking Tom & Friends” characters Talking Tom and Talking Angela will make their first official appearance in any Roblox game. During that limited time event, players can find Tom and Angela in the Paris lobby of the “Miraculous” in-game universe and “engage with the characters in new ways.”
The year-long crossover event comes amid two major milestones: the 10 year anniversary of the “Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir” series, and the 15th anniversary of the “Talking Tom & Friends” franchise, dating back to the launch of mobile game app, “Talking Tom Cat.”
“United by a commitment to creativity and fan connection, our two teams are building something fresh, fun, and far-reaching for our shared fan bases,” Miraculous Corp. vice president of gaming experiences Elinor Schops said. “With 470 million active monthly users across all ‘Talking Tom & Friends’ games and more than 850 million games played in the ‘Miraculous’ Roblox universe, this collaboration is more than a crossover, it’s a celebration of the incredible passion our global communities have shown, and a promise to keep delivering exciting, meaningful experiences across every platform they love.”
“These initial gaming crossover events represent the first step in building a dynamic shared universe that unites the charm, humor, and spirit of both franchises,” Outfit7 head of marketing at Tea Dora said. “Future activations in this year-long venture will expand into narrative-driven content, additional in-game events featuring unique rewards, and physical merchandise, offering fans of both franchises new ways to engage across digital and real-world platforms.”
