We hope the dog’s name is Fisher. Because Snake would be a weird name for a dog.

Barkour, the latest game from Bee Simulator developer Varsav Studios, is, to quote the team, “an action/stealth game where you take on the role of a tail-wagging canine 009 agent, unleashed by a secret organization to fight evil in a world that that’s anything but ruff and serious.” It is due out in 2025 for PC.

Yes, it’s true. Barkour is a stealth game where you play as a dog secret agent. And as you can see from the trailer above, it looks absolutely delightful. Don’t miss the first batch of concept art and screenshots in the gallery below as well.

Barkour – Concept Art and Screenshots

Varsav describes Barkour as such: “Agent T.H.U.N.D.E.R. is a highly trained professional who is well aware of the stakes of each mission that he takes part in. However, he is still a playful dog at heart, who will charm you time and time again. His trusty AI sidekick, A.L.F.-RED, will ensure that his playful nature doesn’t interfere with his mission completion.

“During gameplay, you’ll explore stunning and diverse locations all over the world. From a perilous greenhouse complex to an amusement park filled with head-turning attractions (and dubious safety standards), each mission will test your skills to the fullest!”

We’ll have more on this good boy as development progresses.
