Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping Set for May 2025 Release on Nintendo Switch

Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping Announced for Nintendo Switch Release on May 22, 2025 Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping, the highly anticipated sequel to last year’s indie hit Duck Detective: The Secret Salami, is confirmed for launch on Nintendo Switch.

Set for release on May 22, 2025, this mystery adventure game promises to deliver another captivating investigation for fans both new and returning. Developed by Happy Broccoli Games, Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping continues the saga of Eugene McQuacklin, the whimsical duck detective known for his keen observation skills—and personal struggles.

This new standalone title expands upon the formula that made its predecessor a favorite among Nintendo Switch users.

Happy Broccoli Games has garnered praise within the indie gaming community for its unique blend of humor, compelling storytelling, and engaging gameplay mechanics, all of which return in this latest entry. Players assume the role of the titular Duck Detective as he investigates mysterious occurrences at a seemingly haunted campsite.

Despite rumors of ghosts, the true hauntings for protagonist Eugene McQuacklin involve personal demons, including his failed marriage and a notorious bread habit.

For the first time in the series, Eugene will be partnered with a new crime-solving companion, challenging players to adapt to dynamic, cooperative investigation mechanics. The game offers a succinct yet immersive experience, with sessions estimated to last between two and three hours.

Like its predecessor, Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping is a standalone story, making it accessible to both newcomers and fans of Duck Detective: The Secret Salami.

Players will interview suspects, collect and inspect key evidence, and fill in narrative blanks to unravel the mystery at the heart of the campsite. A standout feature for the sequel is its fully voice-acted roster of eccentric characters, designed to enhance narrative immersion and bring the quirky world of Duck Detective to life.

As players dive deeper into the investigation, they’ll encounter a host of suspiciously secretive personalities, each with their own motives and secrets to uncover. Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping will launch as a digital-only release via the Nintendo eShop.

The official announcement trailer, now available online, showcases a glimpse of the game’s expanded environments, detailed animations, and trademark wit. Since the release of Duck Detective: The Secret Salami on Nintendo Switch in 2024, the series has seen considerable success, driven by strong word-of-mouth and critical acclaim for its narrative-driven adventure design.

With this upcoming sequel, Happy Broccoli Games aims to build upon this foundation, further cementing its presence on Nintendo’s premier platform for indie titles. For more updates and in-depth coverage of Nintendo Switch releases, visit our dedicated Nintendo Direct and eShop news sections.
