Chunky Jump Coming to Nintendo Switch: Pichon Games Blends Horror and Platforming for Q3 2025 Release

Pichon Games has officially confirmed that their latest title, Chunky Jump, is set to release on the Nintendo Switch in the third quarter of 2025.

As the developer continues to expand its creative portfolio, this new project stands out by fusing horror and platforming elements—two distinct genres rarely combined in contemporary game design. Set in the quirky yet ominous world of The Bunny Graveyard, Chunky Jump invites both returning fans and new players to experience a fresh horror adventure on Nintendo’s popular hybrid console.

The gameplay centers on surviving a perilous night while playing the eponymous mini-game, Chunky Jump, on a handheld device called the Bird Boy.

This innovative blend of in-game mechanics, coupled with atmospheric horror elements, marks a significant addition to both the Nintendo Switch lineup and Pichon Games’ growing library. In a comprehensive statement, Pichon Games described Chunky Jump as 'a short horror adventure rooted in the beloved universe of The Bunny Graveyard, designed to appeal to both newcomers and dedicated followers.' The story unfolds in Carrot Town, where players assume the role of Jeff, a gas station attendant responsible for the daily monotony of serving customers and stocking shelves.

However, once night falls, players must adapt quickly: they are forced to outwit and escape a terrifying monster trailing at the edge of darkness, all while maintaining concentration in the tense mini-game of Chunky Jump. Core features announced for Chunky Jump include: - SURVIVE the night by honing reflexes, managing stress, and timing jumps accurately, challenging players to make it through until morning. - INTERACT as Jeff, engaging with Carrot Town’s distinctive residents and uncovering local mysteries through dialogue and exploration. - DISCOVER more in Story Mode, where narrative depth and character backgrounds are revealed, enriching the lore for both series newcomers and fans alike. - ENDLESS MODE unlocks multiple new levels, allowing players to collect iconic skins based on beloved characters. - ACHIEVEMENTS reward players with Bun-Bun coins, providing additional goals and replay value. Chunky Jump is scheduled for a Q3 2025 release date, further bolstering the Nintendo Switch eShop’s slate of anticipated indie titles.

The game’s official unveiling, and its subsequent promotion via Nintendo Direct channels, reflects Pichon Games’ confidence in the project as both a narrative-driven and mechanically inventive experience. Players can look forward to learning more about Chunky Jump and Carrot Town’s mysteries as the release approaches.

For fans of horror platformers and narrative-rich gaming on Nintendo Switch, this title is shaping up to be one of the more original entries in the 2025 lineup.
