Fat Princess Adventures is a co-op action role-playing game for PlayStation 4. It was developed by Fun Bits Interactive and published by Sony Computer Entertainment, and it serves as a sequel to Fat Princess. The game released on December 5, 2015 in North America and Europe.

Gameplay focuses on 4-player cooperative play as you hack and slash through dungeon-style stages. Players can switch at any time between four character classes: Warrior, Mage, Archer, and Engineer, each with its own abilities and upgrade paths. Throughout the game, princesses appear as non-playable guides who help with magic attacks, healing, and turning enemies into cake.

The game received mixed reviews. Metacritic scored it around 66/100, and GameRankings around 66.7%. Critics noted the shift toward a more straightforward action RPG. Mark Steighner of Hardcore Gamer gave it 4 out of 5, saying Fat Princess Adventures trades some of the original game’s depth for a more direct action RPG experience. Chris Carter of Destructoid gave it 7/10, calling it an enjoyable distraction for hack-and-slash fans, though he wanted a proper new Princess game.
