Sometimes You has confirmed a Nintendo Switch release for Highway Blossoms: Next Exit, with the port scheduled to launch on October 7, 2026.

The Switch edition packages the original Studio Elan visual novel and the Next Exit expansion together, bringing the yuri kinetic story to Nintendo's hybrid platform.

Background and release

Highway Blossoms debuted as a kinetic visual novel from Studio Elan that follows two women on a road trip through the American Southwest.

Publisher Sometimes You announced the Switch version and set an October 7, 2026 release date.

The port will be available for purchase on the Nintendo Switch platform and is expected to appear on Nintendo's digital storefront, the Nintendo eShop, with a standard price of $19.99 and a 20 percent pre-order discount.

Official overview (rewritten)

According to the game's official overview, Highway Blossoms is a yuri kinetic novel set against the landscapes of the American Southwest.

The story kickstarts when a long-lost miner's journal, purported to reveal the locations of hidden gold, ignites a nationwide treasure hunt.

Amber, who is grieving her grandfather and traveling in an inherited motorhome, is initially indifferent to the craze until she encounters Marina, a hitchhiker in New Mexico.

Their meeting pulls both characters into the search and into each other's lives.

Next Exit continues the pair's story months after the original game, following Amber and Marina as they return to Las Vegas for an alien-themed convention, a birthday visit with Tess, and a reunion with Cassi, the candy shop attendant pursuing her own ambitions.
