The state of the world and the video game industry at large can get a bit gloomy at times, so a brand-new Care Bears game is exactly what jaded Millennials need to help them start caring again. Care Bears: To the Rescue has been officially announced for PS5, reminding us of simpler times.
Not to be confused with the similarly titled 2010 family feature Care Bears to the Rescue, Care Bears: To the Rescue will follow the titular bears as they team up to gather lots of Caring Energy to restore peace and maintain happiness. This will take the form of some fairly rigorous platforming across 30 levels in five nostalgic worlds with, no doubt, the ability to express pure joy in the form of a rainbow energy blast. You can play alone, but everything is better together, so Care Bears: To the Rescue supports a four-player local co-op mode
Can you believe the Care Bears are back in 2024? What do you think of To the Rescue, and does the sight of so many familiar faces make you nostalgic for the late 80s/early 90s? Prepare your own Care Bear Stare in the comments section below.

The artstyle is bad. But if it gets a physical release, I’m buying it. I love the show Care bears families.
You mean to tell me that because I was born early 80s I'm a millennial? Did care bears get remade later on? Care bears was around until late 80s I thought then died a death - at least I thought!
Excellent, hope we get a nice spooky fair ground section like the end of the original movie!!
@Blofse Like most brands they have been reinvented on a steady cycle. To be fair I find it a nice thing e.g. my nieces and nephews know about Transformers, He-man, etc. and you can actually talk about them and what has changed. And they can play with your old toys if you still have them.
I used to be a big fan bag in the day, so I'm definitely getting this. I hope it's at least decent. Nostalgia overload!
Looks like a C64 platformer from back in the day.
Too bad it looks pretty bad.
It would have been cool if they would have built a game around the 80s animation.
@Blofse Well yeah, the typical birth years for a millennial are 1981 to 1996, though there's some variance - especially for the end year. It seems like a really stupid generational definition since there's a colossal difference between someone that was, say, 9 in 1990 and someone who was 9 in 2005. Totally different worlds, especially the difference between being about 15 when the internet took off, versus being born into a world where it was already everywhere.
Can we get a Naughty Bear crossover DLC? Might have to pick this up for my daughter.
Hope I can play as Sir Mix alot...
@Matroska at one point I thought we were gen z but I guess that got screwed up by the next gen. Thing is with millennials I always thought that was before snowflakes, but I guess snowflakes are a subset of millennials as well?
Oh well, I'm guessing I'm old enough to start to not care about things and this should be one of them
Haven't thought about Care Bears for years. I vaguely remember it. A worthy return hmm. Maybe. Is it an IP that needs to exist no idea. Does it appeal to young kids well or whatever changes to make it relevant no idea.
Could be decent, could be bad.
Millennial always made me think 2000s, Windows ME made sense for that reason and well it means 1000 which is why the Numeral M and C 100, etc.
So seeing it as 80s/90s when 1997+ is Z and Alpha is 2010 when I always thought it was 2012. Also Millennial and Y then Z or iGen like what oh wow the iPhone I mean sure but many of us never experienced that Apple product heck I think of PDAs or Pocket PCs before I think of the iPhone. XD Then Alpha.
I didn't get a tablet till 2012 with the Surface. Tablets existed before the iPad but like many people cared what Microsoft did with tablets or the earliest of Samsung Tablets either. Like Pocket PCs too expensive, too heavily used in businesses or tech enthusiasts not for the average person (or the social lifestyle marketing was too good later on to appeal to them which I never cared for) and most people didn't even notice.
Why did it go from Baby Boomers (which makes sense for the time period) to X then Y, Z. It's like programing with i and J I get it but it's just silly. Why not C onwards? Or something else. At least Alpha makes sense for starting that onwards.
