Initially released for the Nintendo Switch on May 21, 2024, this installment continues the Fantasy Life legacy, seamlessly blending life simulation and RPG elements for both new players and series veterans. To thank its expanding global community, LEVEL-5 has introduced a celebratory gift code, offering redeeming players a selection of legendary ingredients and materials.

These valuable items are designed to enhance in-game progress, helping players on their adventures across the immersive world of Mysteria Island. In a recent statement, LEVEL-5 emphasized: “Since the global launch in May, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has reached over 1.2 million units sold.

To ensure ongoing enjoyment, our team is dedicated to providing regular updates.” The company further revealed that the upcoming free ‘Update the World!’ downloadable content (DLC) will include a brand-new Roguelike Open-World mode, expanding gameplay variety and replay value on the continent of Ginormosia. LEVEL-5 reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining player interest, noting that its development team remains dedicated to enhancing features and delivering consistent updates.

“We appreciate our players' unwavering support and will continue striving to offer the best possible Fantasy Life experience,” the developer conveyed. Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time invites players to begin their journey on the mystical and ruined Mysteria Island.

Players are transported to the past, undertaking the task of rebuilding the island and shaping their own city according to the Life they choose.

The game distinguishes itself with a deep life-management system, allowing users to create a customized avatar, select from an array of unique jobs (known as Lives), and engage in varied multiplayer experiences.

Up to four friends, online or locally, can collaborate to explore, craft, and unravel the island’s secrets—such as the mysterious “Strangelings” tied to the spirits of the departed. Core features highlighted by LEVEL-5 include robust avatar customization, a diverse Life/job system, town-building wrapped in time-travel mechanics, cooperative multiplayer, and an expansive world filled with hidden quests and narrative intrigue.

Adventure, relaxation, and creative freedom are central themes, providing a sandbox for players to determine their preferred pace and style. Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is available now digitally worldwide through the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, cementing its place as a must-play title in the continually growing Fantasy Life series.

As LEVEL-5 continues to roll out free updates and new gameplay modes, fans can anticipate even richer experiences in the months ahead.
