Get inside the Dog Man books with the first trailer for the game Dog Man: Mission Impawsible

Dog Man: Mission Impawsible is going hi-tech with a game, but low-tech as a sidescroller.

Dog Man is the most popular comic in North America, and now he's coming to video games.

Mindscape and Dog Man creator Dav Pilkey have revealed a first look at gameplay for the upcoming console & PC game Dog Man: Mission Impawsible. No, this isn't highly-rendered immersive world - it's a classic 2D side-scrolling platformer in much the same way the comic itself is classicly simple.

You can watch the trailer above as we all wait for its December 6 release, and look forward to playing as Dog Man or any of his Supa Buddies across five worlds and 50 levels - including some taken directly from Pilkey's hit graphic novel series. Each character has their own distinct special abilities (just like me and you!), and you use teamwork to overcome some of the many puzzles and bosses throughout the game.

And yes, Dog Man: Mission Impawsible has classic comic-style sound effects just like you read (and imagine with sound) from the Dog Man comics.

Dog Man: Mission Impawsible debuts December 6 on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, PC & Xbox Series X|S.
