Hello Kitty Island Adventure Switch Release Date Set

A Hello Kitty Island Adventure Switch release date appeared in the latest trailer for the Animal Crossing-like game. People who have been waiting to play it on Nintendo’s console/handheld can pick that up on January 30, 2025. This is over two years after its Apple Arcade debut back in June 2023. Update: Sanrio and Sunblink confirmed that is also the release date for the PC version of the game.

Here’s the full video looking at Hello Kitty Island Adventure on the Switch. It begins with an overview of the island, before moving on to gameplay that shows players’ unique avatar exploring alongside Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty. We also get to see the avatar customization system, puzzle solving, photo mode, and crafting. The relationship-building and events come up at about the one minute mark. Towards the end, we get to see how we can decorate cabins on the island to attract visitors. (Said visitors are other famous Sanrio mascots.)

While this trailer only confirms the Hello Kitty Island Adventure release date for one platform, we do know it will come to another that day as well. We learned it would go multiplatform once the game had been on Apple Arcade for a year. At the time, Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC versions were confirmed, with the Switch and PC ones set to arrive first. The Steam product page there still mentioned a Q1 2025 window as of 10:30am ET on December 13, 2024, but it is confirmed it will debut on January 30, 2025 too.

In the meantime, the Apple Arcade version of the game continues to get updates and events. Pompompurin’s Halloween and fall event showed up recently, as did one for Hello Kitty’s 50th anniversary.

The Hello Kitty Island Adventure Switch and PC release date is set for January 30, 2025, and it is available on iOS and Macs now via Apple Arcade. The game will also come to the PS4 and PS5 in 2025.
