Description

Aggro Crab Games and iam8bit have collaborated to release new physical editions of 'Another Crab’s Treasure' on Nintendo Switch.

The game, which has won over players with its whimsical take on the soulslike genre and its environmental themes, is now being made available in collectible retail formats with a focus on sustainable merchandise. The physical release includes two distinct versions: the Another Crab’s Treasure Retail Edition and the iam8bit Exclusive Edition, both priced at $34.99.

Each edition contains a region-free cartridge of the game and a glossy fold-out poster measuring 12 x 18 inches.

The poster features a clay art representation of Kril, the game's plucky hermit crab protagonist, wielding his distinct fork weapon.

The iam8bit Exclusive Edition is distinguished by a unique o-sleeve adorned with original clay artwork by artist cobcris. Pre-orders for both editions have opened, with shipments scheduled to begin on September 5, 2025.

Early buyers will receive an official soundtrack download code, allowing fans to enjoy the game's music outside of their gaming sessions.

In addition, a special 2xLP vinyl version of the soundtrack has been announced.

Pressed on 100 percent recycled, carbon-neutral Random Eco Blend Color Vinyl, each disc will be randomly pressed in one of six unique colorways, and will also include a digital download code for the soundtrack. Further highlighting the game’s environmental message, Another Crab’s Treasure tote bags have been produced from completely recycled materials.

These feature patterned art by cobcris, and $1 from every tote sale will be donated to Sustainable Coastlines, an organization dedicated to promoting coastal stewardship.

Each purchase of the tote comes with an official certificate of donation. Set in a fantastical underwater world plagued by pollution and an enigmatic curse, Another Crab’s Treasure places players in control of Kril, a hermit crab on a quest to reclaim his repossessed shell.

To survive, Kril must collect discarded trash to use as armor against imposing foes, discovering an undersea society grappling with the consequences of industrial pollution.

As outlined by Aggro Crab Games, the adventure incorporates a host of inventive mechanics: - Trash or Treasure: In this world, trash is both a necessity and resource, serving purposes from basic fashion to makeshift weaponry, while also acting as a vector for a mysterious infection known as the Gunk. - Learn From Nature: Kril can adopt powerful Umami Techniques inspired by real sea creatures, equipping him with unique combat abilities for a range of encounters. - Unexplored Depths: Players will traverse vibrant kelp forests, intricate coral reefs, bustling sandcastle cities, and the foreboding deep-sea trenches as they progress through the game’s diverse environments. - Play At Your Own Pace: Another Crab’s Treasure is designed to be accessible for new players with assist options, yet robust and challenging for experienced soulslike fans. Another Crab’s Treasure is available now as a digital download via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch globally.

The physical editions, alongside eco-friendly merchandise and collectibles, underscore both Aggro Crab Games’ innovative approach and ongoing commitment to sustainability in game development and publishing.
