Bokura: Planet Launches on Nintendo Switch and Upcoming Switch 2 with Prequel Announcement

Nintendo has announced significant updates regarding Bokura: Planet and its prequel, Bokura, for both the current Nintendo Switch and the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.

Bokura: Planet, a cooperative adventure game developed for puzzle-solving enthusiasts, is now available for digital download on the Nintendo Switch eShop starting today.

In addition, fans can look forward to the intriguing prequel, Bokura, which is set to launch on Nintendo Switch 2 this November. Bokura: Planet offers players the chance to guide one of two prisoners as they attempt to escape after crash landing on a desolate red planet.

The game emphasizes verbal communication via voice chat, challenging players to coordinate and solve intricate environmental puzzles together.

Each character in the game has a mysterious backstory and potentially conflicting motivations for returning to Earth, making trust a crucial—and fragile—element of the experience. A representative for the development team described Bokura: Planet as "a collaborative escape adventure where cooperation and communication are key, but secrets and shifting motives ensure that every playthrough is shaped by player decisions." This innovative gameplay, paired with the game's unique setting, is designed to keep players engaged and on edge. Meanwhile, Bokura, the prequel soon arriving on Nintendo Switch 2, presents a distinctly different cooperative journey.

Two players take on the roles of children escaping from home, each experiencing the world through dramatically different perspectives.

One protagonist navigates a dystopian mechanical environment, while the other traverses a lush, nature-infused landscape.

Both realities exist simultaneously, requiring real-time teamwork to overcome obstacles and emotional dilemmas.

The narrative unfolds through collaborative decision-making, with player choices affecting the course of the journey. Both Bokura: Planet and Bokura will be available exclusively as digital downloads, providing easy access for players on both Nintendo Switch and the future Nintendo Switch 2 platforms.

With their innovative co-op mechanics and emotionally engaging storytelling, these titles are set to become must-play additions to the Nintendo eShop lineup in 2024.

Gamers and industry followers can continue to expect further updates and coverage on the official Nintendo Switch 2 launch.
