Ubisoft and BBC Studios have just announced a partnership that will bring the adorable Blue Heeler dog character, Bluey, into the world of the popular game Just Dance 2026 Edition. This collaboration marks the first time characters from the Emmy® Award-winning animated series have appeared in a dance rhythm game, promising a fun new experience for the whole family.
Dancing with the Heeler Family
At the heart of this collaboration is a gameplay map A special map called "Bluey Medley". Through this map, you can dance along with Bluey, Bingo and the rest of the family to upbeat and easy-to-follow choreography.
