Digital Bandidos and Crying Brick have announced that Froggy Hates Snow, their new survival roguelike, will launch on Nintendo Switch as a digital download on May 7, 2026.
The studio describes the game as an action-oriented roguelike in which players control a resilient frog digging through a frozen wasteland, uncovering treasure, unlocking upgrades, and confronting hostile, otherworldly creatures.
Developers’ summary (rewritten): Digital Bandidos and Crying Brick emphasize that Froggy Hates Snow centers on warmth and resource management — players must return to safety or upgrade their abilities to avoid freezing, while also managing combat and exploration choices that define each run.
Key details
- Title: Froggy Hates Snow
- Developers: Digital Bandidos and Crying Brick
- Platform: Nintendo Switch
- Release date: May 7, 2026
- Distribution: Digital download on Nintendo Switch
Gameplay and systems
Froggy Hates Snow presents procedurally structured runs that begin at a safe home base.
From there, players probe the frozen desert, dig paths through compacted snow, and weigh risk-versus-reward decisions: venture further for greater loot and rarer upgrades, or return early to bank resources.
The game highlights a core survival loop where staying exposed to the cold without sufficient upgrades or equipment will cause the player character to freeze.
Combat and tools
The announcement details a variety of tools and weapons players can unlock, including flamethrowers, explosives, and skis that change how you move and fight.
Enemies are described as “eerie obsidian-black creatures” with unique behaviors and attacks, and the game includes mysterious anomaly zones that offer deadly challenges in exchange for substantial rewards.
Progression and companions
Players can use carried resources to improve digging speed, combat resilience, and cold resistance.
A choice-driven economy is part of each run: keys can be spent on treasure chests or saved to open an escape door.
The game also supports recruiting companions—penguins, moles, and owls are noted as helpful allies with distinct abilities.
Modes and presentation
For players who prefer less combat, Froggy Hates Snow includes a no-enemy digging mode that lets users freely reshape the snow and explore without threat.
An official trailer accompanies the announcement, providing footage of core mechanics and visual tone.
The game will be sold as a digital download on Nintendo Switch; further details are available through the developers’ official channels and the trailer release.
