Secret Mode and Absolutely Games have set a release date for Fangtopia, their new spooky kingdom-builder and puzzle hybrid.
The game is scheduled to launch digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide on 26 October 2026, positioning it for the Halloween season and offering Switch 2 owners a fresh puzzle experience.
According to the publisher, Fangtopia is intended as a relaxed, low-pressure puzzle experience.
Players receive a stack of hex tiles and must place them to cultivate the largest possible kingdom.
Strategic placement and connected terrain generate points that unlock landmarks and additional tiles, allowing kingdoms to expand into towns, forests and other themed biomes.
Gameplay centers on matching and merging tiles to grow islands and extend terrain toward sea portals.
Reaching those portals triggers objectives that can summon friendly creatures — including scarecrows, giants, werewolves and other iconic monsters — which players then accommodate by placing appropriate habitats.
A built-in Sticker Book tracks encountered monsters and unlocked tiles, supporting collection-focused progression.
The publisher highlights multiple play modes to suit different play sessions, from brief, casual runs to longer, contemplative builds.
Core features outlined by the developers include:
- Match Tiles: Place land tiles from a stack, connecting like terrain to score points and expand your kingdom into landscapes such as misty mountains, dark woods, ghostly railways, snaking rivers and towns.
- Build Landmarks: Hit score goals to obtain landmarks with unique objectives; completing those objectives grants access to new tiles that further grow your world.
- Discover Monsters: Fulfill portal objectives to draw creatures into your realm and place habitats for them, integrating monsters into the kingdom’s layout.
Fangtopia’s digital-only launch on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 confirms the title as part of the early library for Nintendo’s portable/home hybrid successor.
The announcement and feature details were reported by Alex Seedhouse, a long-standing Nintendo specialist who has covered the company across multiple console generations.
Fans of quiet, strategic puzzle design and thematic collection mechanics now have a firm date to add Fangtopia to their Switch 2 wish lists.
