Goodnight Universe Release Date Confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2: Skybound Games and Nice Dream Unveil Next-Gen Experience

Skybound Games and development partner Nice Dream have officially confirmed the worldwide release date for Goodnight Universe on Nintendo Switch 2.

This much-anticipated title, serving as a spiritual successor to the acclaimed Before Your Eyes, is set to launch digitally via the Nintendo eShop on 11 November 2025. Goodnight Universe invites players to step into the world of Isaac, a six-month-old baby with unexpected psychic powers, striving for acceptance within his family while evading the clutches of a shadowy technology corporation determined to harness his abilities.

The compelling narrative is brought to life with the help of innovative gameplay technology and a talented voice cast. Expanding on their previous use of camera-based mechanics, Nice Dream deepens player immersion by introducing an advanced face-tracking mode in Goodnight Universe.

This new feature enhances the studio’s reputation for boundary-pushing interactive storytelling, building on technology first introduced in Before Your Eyes. The central role of Isaac is performed by Lewis Pullman, best known for his work in Thunderbolts* and Top Gun: Maverick.

He is joined by a distinguished voice cast including Kerri Kenney-Silver (Reno 911!, The Four Seasons), Al Madrigal (The Daily Show, Lopez vs.

Lopez), and Tessa Espinola (S.W.A.T., The Big Show Show) as Isaac’s family members.

Supporting roles feature celebrated actors Beau Bridges (Matlock, Homeland), Timothy Simons (VEEP, Nobody Wants This.), and Sarah Burns (Barry, Unfrosted), further enriching the game’s narrative depth. Skybound Games, which has established a strong presence in narrative-driven gaming, teams up once again with Nice Dream, the acclaimed developer behind Before Your Eyes—a title that received widespread praise for its inventive use of webcam input and emotional storytelling.

With Goodnight Universe, both companies aim to set new standards for interactive experiences on next-generation Nintendo hardware. The November 2025 release positions Goodnight Universe as a key part of the Nintendo Switch 2’s growing launch lineup, emphasizing the platform’s commitment to unique, story-focused game experiences.

As excitement builds, fans can look forward to next-gen innovations and a compelling emotional journey when Goodnight Universe arrives on the Nintendo eShop. For more information and official trailers, visit the Nintendo eShop or follow updates from Skybound Games and Nice Dream.
