Everything Is Crab Release Date Confirmed for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2
Publisher Secret Mode and developer Odd Dreams Digital have confirmed that Everything Is Crab will launch digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on 26 January 2027.
The announcement lays out platform-specific enhancements and a rundown of the game's core systems ahead of its release.
Everything Is Crab is an animal-evolution roguelite that casts players as Darwin, a small blue blob that evolves through encounters and choices across procedurally driven runs.
The developer bills the title as an experience that challenges players to fight, befriend, or evade creatures while combining evolutions and specializations to create distinct life forms.
Publisher and developer summary (rewritten): Secret Mode and Odd Dreams Digital stated that the Nintendo Switch 2 edition will provide enhanced performance and include support for mouse controls via the Joy-Con 2, while both versions will be available digitally on the Nintendo eShop on 26 January 2027.
Key features outlined by the publisher include:
- More than 140 evolutions and specialisations to customize creatures and playstyles.
- 125+ evolution-based abilities offering strategic depth and varied visual combinations.
- A living ecosystem populated by many different critters, each with multiple evolutionary stages.
- Four distinct biomes with unique rules, climate events, points of interest, flora and fauna.
- A night-and-day cycle and a variety of bosses that may or may not appear during runs.
- A large meta-progression layer, a Codex to track findings and achievements, and an Endless runs mode that removes the timer for extended survival challenges.
Everything Is Crab’s combination of evolutionary options and meta-progression positions it as a notable indie roguelite addition on Nintendo platforms.
The confirmed release date and the explicit mention of Nintendo Switch 2 enhancements and Joy-Con 2 mouse support should help Nintendo-focused players plan for launch day purchases on the Nintendo eShop.
Developer Odd Dreams Digital and publisher Secret Mode will handle the digital distribution, with further multimedia assets such as trailers and screenshots released alongside the eShop product listing.
Coverage and hands-on impressions are expected to follow as the 26 January 2027 release approaches.
