I Hate This Place Switch Release Date Announced: Survival Horror Comic Adaptation Arrives November 2025

I Hate This Place, the acclaimed comic series from writer Kyle Starks and artist Artyom Topilin, is officially making its debut on the Nintendo Switch with a confirmed release date of November 7, 2025.

Skybound Entertainment and developer Broken Mirror Games revealed the launch details alongside a new trailer that showcases the game’s distinctive craft-based survival horror mechanics and signature comic-inspired visuals. Fans of the genre—and of the source material—can look forward to an adaptation that merges isometric gameplay with bold, stylized art paying tribute to the comic’s unique visual flair.

Broken Mirror Games, a studio founded in 2024 and now operating under the veteran horror publisher Bloober Team, is leading development.

Bloober Team itself has been making headlines with the imminent launch of Cronos: The New Dawn, another highly anticipated title for the upcoming Switch 2, further underscoring its expertise in horror games. The new trailer for I Hate This Place provides a closer look at the core features and settings within the haunted Rutherford Ranch.

The game emphasizes classic survival horror gameplay enhanced for modern players, challenging them to scavenge for resources, craft critical tools, upgrade campsites, and rebuild outposts—all while navigating danger-laden environments such as haunted woods, abandoned towns, and infested bunkers. A dynamic day-night cycle stands at the heart of the gameplay experience.

Players are encouraged to make the most of daylight hours by exploring and preparing, as the real threats emerge after nightfall.

When darkness sets in, more aggressive, powerful enemies surface, and visibility dwindles to the narrow beam of a flashlight.

Survival often demands that players find shelter and endure the night until dawn offers temporary safety. Stealth and tactical combat are essential to mastering I Hate This Place.

Many of the monstrous entities stalking Rutherford Ranch are sensitive to sound, requiring players to carefully deploy noise, either to lure enemies away or to trap them.

Charging headlong into danger is often not the answer; careful planning and silent maneuvering are critical for survival. What sets I Hate This Place apart is its distinctive blend of 1980s-inspired style and comic book flair.

The game’s visuals deliver bold colors and retro stylings, mirroring the aesthetic of the award-nominated comic series.

This mix of horror, dark humor, and camp provides players with an experience steeped in unsettling atmosphere and visual charm. With its engaging mix of survival horror mechanics, faithful comic adaptation, and the backing of established developers, I Hate This Place aims to be a standout addition to the Nintendo Switch lineup when it launches in November 2025.

Stay tuned for updates and prepare to brave the horrors of Rutherford Ranch later this year.
