LONDON, UK — 9TH JULY, 2024 — Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT), a leading global toy and family entertainment company and owner of one of the most iconic brand portfolios in the world, and Ubisoft announced today the UNO Party! Mania™ DLC, is now available on consoles and PC. Players can now dive into the classic card game with an added twist of extra action cards and all-new special rules.
UNO Party! Mania features three new exciting action cards: the Point Taken card, Wild Drawn Together card, and Wild Pile Up card. Point Taken asks all players to virtually point at one other player; afterwards, each player must draw as many cards as there are players pointing at them. When Wild Drawn Together is pulled, that player chooses a new colour to play and picks two others to be temporarily linked. Moving forward, every time one of these players draws cards from the draw pile, the player they’re linked with must draw the same amount. The link remains intact until a new Wild Drawn Together or Point Taken card is pulled. Finally, the Wild Pile Up card creates a mini-pile, starting with the first card from the draw pile. The next player must play a card of the same colour to pass on the mini-pile to the next player, until it reaches a player who can’t play a card, at which point the entire mini-pile goes into their hand.
“The UNO Party! Mania DLC unlocks new dimensions of fun and creativity for a franchise that fans have loved for years,” said Erika Winterholler, Senior Director of Business Development & Licensing - Gaming and Apps. “The new twists on classic UNO™ innovate the game for a digital-first audience, bringing an exciting, fresh take on the #1 global traditional game.”
Two additional editions will launch on 10th September. UNO™ Legacy Edition comes with the full classic game, Party! Mania, FLIP!, and 50th Anniversary DLCs. UNO™ Ultimate Edition comes with the card game and six exciting DLCs: Party! Mania, FLIP!, 50th Anniversary, Valhalla, The Call of Yara, Fenyx’s Quest, themed cards featuring Just Dance 2017, Rayman, and more.
The UNO Party! Mania™ DLC is now available to purchase individually on PlayStation®4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch™, and Windows PC exclusively on the Ubisoft Store. The Party! Mania DLC will also be playable on PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X | S through backward compatibility.
