Bob Mortimer is set to appear in a brand new video game announced at Gamescom 2026. The Middlesbrough-born comedian will feature in Murals, a twisted isometric action-adventure from Dlala Studios, the team behind Disney Illusion Island and the Battletoads reboot.
Magic Dave's Potion Shop
Mortimer will play the character 'Magic Dave', who runs a potion shop where players can purchase 'Eeries'. The character appears to be one players interact with regularly, meaning his voice lines will feature throughout the game.
The game's description on Steam reads: "These are not the tales you were told. Express yourself through stylized combat in the hand-painted worlds of Murals, a twisted isometric action-adventure where fairytales have gone spectacularly wrong."
Comedy Career Highlights
Mortimer is a long-standing icon in the British comedy scene, known for his double-act alongside Vic Reeves and the BBC show Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing. More recently, he has gained a huge following for appearances on ensemble shows including Would I Lie To You? and Last One Laughing.
He is also an established novelist, having published three original works of fiction and an autobiography.
Release Details
Murals will launch at some point in 2027, although no concrete release date has been confirmed. A demo is currently playable on the show floor at Gamescom, and the game will be available on PC.
