Category: GamesJune 17, 2026Inside the Volcano Region in PAW Patrol: Dino WorldGuillermo Abajo, Producer, Outright GamesAt Outright Games, we worked alongside our partners at Nickelodeon to bring Dino Island to life in PAW Patrol: Dino World. We wanted to make each region feel distinct, with its own atmosphere, gameplay style, and challenges for players to overcome. The Volcano quickly became one of the most exciting areas for the team to develop because it represents a major turning point in the adventure, where the stakes become bigger, the missions become more dramatic, and players really begin to see how their actions can help save Dino Island.In this first look trailer for the XBOX community, I’d love to take you inside the Volcano region and share more about how we approached this fiery part of the island!By the time players reach the Volcano, things on Dino Island are no longer peaceful. What begins as a mysterious explosion quickly escalates into one of the pups’ biggest rescue missions yet. After a cave passage collapses leading into the Volcano area, the PAW Patrol heads in to investigate, uncovering a confused group of Mahakala dinosaurs and signs that Mayor Humdinger has been causing trouble once again.We wanted this region to feel more dramatic and unpredictable than earlier areas of the game, while still staying accessible for younger players. The environment itself plays a huge role in that. Lava flows, collapsing pathways, and damaged construction zones all become part of the gameplay, encouraging players to carefully explore the area, solve problems, and help restore order as the situation worsens.One of my favourite parts of the Volcano storyline is seeing how the pups work together to help the Mahakala herd. Early on, players discover that Humdinger has destroyed their nests while building a dinosaur attraction nearby, leaving the herd distressed and divided. The PAW Patrol steps in to rebuild the nests based on the dinosaurs’ different preferences, which creates a fun mix of exploration, environmental interaction, and problem-solving.As the adventure unfolds, players also uncover a dinosaur park under construction deep within the Volcano region. Rex plays a major role throughout this part of the story, helping the pups investigate the site alongside his best friend Timmy the T-Rex. Together, they assist during quests, help uncover Humdinger’s plans, and guide players through some of the area’s biggest moments.Things eventually build toward one of the game’s most exciting sequences, where players must rescue Timmy after he becomes trapped by Mayor Humdinger. Once reunited, players take direct control of Rex riding Timmy in a special escape sequence through the Volcano region as everything begins to erupt around them.For us, this moment was all about creating a big cinematic payoff that still felt approachable and exciting for younger audiences. We wanted players to feel the scale and energy of the Volcano while keeping the controls intuitive and fun.We also used the Volcano area to introduce more environmental storytelling into the game. Throughout the region, players can see the effects of Humdinger’s actions on Dino Island, from damaged habitats to frightened dinosaurs and unstable areas affected by construction. As players progress through missions, the environment gradually changes to reflect the positive impact the PAW Patrol is having on the island and its inhabitants.While the Volcano is one of the final areas players will encounter in PAW Patrol: Dino World, we always wanted it to feel like more than just a dramatic finale. It’s a region that brings together exploration, teamwork, rescue missions, and larger-scale gameplay moments in a way that builds naturally on everything players have learned throughout the adventure.From the start, our goal with PAW Patrol: Dino World has been to create an adventure that feels welcoming for younger players while still delivering exciting moments for families to experience together. Whether exploring Dino Island solo or in local co-op, we’ve designed the game so players can take on rescue missions, solve challenges, and discover the island at their own pace.We’re really excited for the XBOX community to head into the Volcano and experience these moments for themselves when PAW Patrol: Dino World launches July 31, 2026.PAW Patrol: Dino WorldOutright Games Ltd.☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★$39.99Pre-orderROARR!
