Lapin for Nintendo Switch: CFK Announces Platforming Adventure's Release Date and Features

CFK Officially Announces Lapin for Nintendo Switch With New Release Date In an exciting development for platformer fans, publisher CFK has announced that Lapin, the charming 2D platforming adventure from Studio Doodal, will be making its debut on the Nintendo Switch.

Following its initial launch in 2023 on other platforms, Lapin brings its unique blend of agile platforming, story-driven exploration, and heartfelt visuals to Nintendo's popular hybrid console. Lapin, developed by the award-winning Studio Doodal, follows the story of Liebe—a white rabbit—and her friends as they embark on a journey to find a new home after humans begin renovating their park habitat.

The game unfolds across five gripping episodes, each introducing new environments, dangers, and friendships.

Players will need to showcase precise control and quick reflexes to overcome challenges and lead the rabbit expedition to safety. After some launch scheduling adjustments, CFK has confirmed that Lapin is now slated for release on Nintendo Switch on October 9, 2025.

This marks a significant milestone for Studio Doodal, expanding the game's reach and giving Switch players the chance to experience the critically acclaimed platforming adventure through the Nintendo eShop. Lapin’s core gameplay is rooted in fast-paced, 2D platforming where players navigate perilous obstacles and diverse terrain to reach new chapters.

Each of the five main rabbit characters—Liebe, Captain, Bianca, José, and Montblanc—features a distinct personality, bringing heartfelt interactions and dynamic storytelling to the expedition.

Engaging with fellow rabbits not only builds relationships but also unlocks collectible items, like photocards and seeds, fostering replayability and enriching the narrative. Players will have the chance to explore Alfa, the rabbits’ home, as well as various other immersive locations.

As they progress, they can collect seeds, maps, and diary entries filling Liebe's Diary.

These collectibles help unravel the legacy of Jorge, the legendary rabbit adventurer, through interactive objects and hidden lore spread throughout each map. A central mechanic in Lapin is the social aspect: talking to members of the expedition increases the ‘likeability’ between characters, leading to the unlocking of new memories and narrative rewards.

The game’s visual style, carefully detailed across both familiar habitats and unknown settings, has won praise among genre fans for its charming aesthetic and emotional storytelling. With Lapin now confirmed for an October 9, 2025 release on Nintendo Switch, fans of 2D platformers and story-rich indie games have a new title to look forward to on the Switch eShop.

For those following Nintendo Directs or eagerly waiting for new indie releases, Lapin stands out as a must-play adventure merging heartfelt narrative with challenging gameplay, all optimized for Nintendo's versatile hardware. For further updates on Lapin’s development, launch details, and additional platform releases, keep an eye on official announcements from CFK and Studio Doodal.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the rabbit expedition, Lapin promises a memorable platforming journey this fall.
