My Talking Hank: Islands is free-to-play an open world virtual pet game developed and published by Outfit7 Limited. It was released on July 4, 2024.[1][2] The game was launched on iOS and Android,[3] and had a $20,000 giveaway at launch.[4]

Premise

The game allows the player to play as Talking Hank, an anthropomorphic puppy, and can freely run around across a tropical island whilst accessing new features alongside wildlife.[5] The game also lets you take care of Hank such as breeding, feeding and playing with him.[6]

Development

A series was launched on the Outfit7 YouTube channel which featured Hank showing tips on Survival in a forest. The series was produced by the Brazilian company Hype, and was a promotion for the game.[7] A release date was announced in June 2024 for July 2024,[3] and the game was launched on July 4, 2024 on iOS and Android devices.[8] The game featured a $20,000 giveaway at launch to receive an exclusive in-game Dino outfit.[9][4][10] The giveaway ran from July 4 to August 3.[11] Product Manager of the game David Pokleka said the game would add a new update towards the end of the year.[12]

An update was released in early 2025 which added a new minigame. The minigame made users clean the beach within the map.[13][14] In March 2025, the game released an update which added an ice island and added new animals such as a Snow Leopard into the game.[15][16] The game also added new clothing for the player to survive. On this update, the savannah island got removed from the map. [17]

Although the early 2026 update version number is a major number (26.1), there is no new features (like the savannah island), there are graphical damages.[18]

Reception

The game received 10 Million downloads within the first week of launch.[19][20] This was from immense support that Outfit7 had gotten whilst collaborating with influencers Ben Azelart and Topper Guild.[21] Majority note that the game is mainly to be played with families rather than individually.[22][23]
