According to a listing on the Nintendo eShop, Luckshot Games will release Big Hops Together for Nintendo Switch 2 on December 24, 2026.
The title is billed as a 3D platformer and a follow-up to the original Big Hops, which previously appeared on the Nintendo Switch.
The eShop entry also notes support for eight-player co-op and indicates the game will be offered as a digital download.
Luckshot positions movement as the foundation of Big Hops Together, equipping the player character Hop with a broad suite of traversal tools.
The studio describes a deep player controller that includes rolling, diving, crouch-jumping, wall-running, free-climbing, swimming, belly-sliding, tightrope walking, pole swinging, rail grinding, and minecart riding.
The developer cites influences ranging from Mario and Sonic Adventure to Zelda: Breath of the Wild and A Hat in Time, while emphasizing that Hop adds distinct frog-themed mechanics on top of that base moveset.
Central to the game's design is Hop’s frog tongue, which the developer frames as the core gameplay mechanic.
The tongue functions as a multi-purpose tool: it can pull items to the player, act as a hookshot to scale walls, and enable high-speed swings.
Luckshot notes that the tongue interacts with a variety of environmental objects—doors, switches, flowers, flingers, levers and other puzzle elements—adding fresh interactions throughout extended play sessions.
Big Hops Together also expands on its item-based systems through so-called Veggies, throwable items that modify the environment.
Examples listed by the developer include:
- Mushrooms that become bounce pads for difficult jumps.
- Acorns that grow vines on walls and ceilings for extended climbing.
- Balloons that form temporary platforms and can be stacked to gain height.
- Oil Balls that create hookshot points players can bounce off without losing speed.
- Apples that let players place custom tongue-swinging anchor points.
- Cacti that deploy tightropes for crossing large gaps.
Inventory is managed via a Backpack that can be upgraded with additional slots; the game also slows time when accessing the Backpack to aid decision-making.
Collectibles are integrated into gameplay systems as well, with items like Dark Drips and Dark Bits tied to missions and trinket upgrades, and vendors such as Drilson’s Depot and Odette’s Outfitters providing ways to spend in-game currency on Veggies, upgrades, and cosmetic items.
Luckshot lists four main Worlds—Forest, Desert, Ocean and Mountain—along with numerous offshoot areas including the Boneyard, Bucko Cove, Hydro Plant and Gulley Gang HQ.
An official trailer is available through the eShop listing.
For now, the confirmed facts are the December 24, 2026 Switch 2 release date, eight-player co-op support, and digital-only distribution; further details should appear as Luckshot and Nintendo release more official materials.
