Mission Vileaf is a 3D platformer based on The Smurfs

Mission Vileaf is an upcoming 3D platformers from developer Osome Studio and publisher Microids that will be launching on some platforms later this year, and we now have a teaser for it.

For those wondering about the name the titular Vileaf is apparently a creation Gargamel – a toxic plant that has the power to both attract and capture the Smurfs. We assume it’s the purple vines shown in the teaser embedded at the bottom of this page.

Even for a teaser the video is a bit low on information but we can look at the Steam page for extra information which lists the following as selling points for the game:

• “Embody 4 iconic Smurfs: the Smurfette, Hefty Smurf, Brainy Smurf and Chef Smurf in 5 different worlds
• Use the Smurfizer to heal the Vileaf contaminated plants on your way to Gargamel’s hovel
• The Smurfizer will also make you jump, glide, dive, vacuum… keep a good timing to overcome every obstacle and beat your enemies
• A subtle mix of platforming and exploration gameplays: find your way through vertical levels and explore them to uncover every secrets
• Give life back to the Smurfs village by making progress and improve the Smurfizer by finding items spread around the levels
• A game for every Smurfs fan, young or old, but also for every 3D platforming game fan!”

It seems Mission Vileaf takes page out of Super Mario Sunshine’s book by giving you a single machine that has multiple uses for navigation, problem solving and combat.

Now for the strange release schedule for this game. On 26th October 2021 The Smurfs – Mission Vileaf will release on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Some time in 2022 it will then release for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

While something like this would have been expected closer to the release of the new console, by the time 2022 rolls around that hardware from Sony and Microsoft will be solidly the current generation of consoles.

Hopefully the version released in 2022 will polish up the graphics a bit as things here look decidedly old, even for a smaller scale game.
