Barbie: Treasures in Time

About

Barbie: Treasures in Time started life as a follow-up to Barbie Explorer before being shelved by Sierra and Knowledge Adventure. Players would have guided the fashion icon through historical eras to solve puzzles and find artifacts on PlayStation 2 or GameCube systems. The single-player adventure focused on exploration and light mystery solving typical of titles from that era. Although the release date was set for June 2nd, 2003, the project never saw a retail launch. This lost title remains a footnote in gaming history rather than a community favorite since no one can actually play it. There are no user ratings or active forums discussing mechanics because the code stayed locked away. The lack of data makes it hard to judge how the gameplay compared to its predecessor. Fans often wonder what features the cancelled sequel might have added to the series before the decision to stop production happened.
