Kamitsubaki Academy Newspaper Club Brings Urban Mystery to Nintendo Switch in October 2025

Kamitsubaki Studio has officially announced that Kamitsubaki Academy Newspaper Club will be arriving on the Nintendo Switch, marking a significant expansion for this urban investigation adventure.

Scheduled for release on October 30, 2025, the game promises to deliver an engaging narrative experience to Nintendo Switch players worldwide, complete with multi-language support for English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. Kamitsubaki Academy Newspaper Club is an adventure title set within the vibrant and enigmatic Kamitsubaki City—a locale already recognized by fans of the Kamitsubaki City series.

However, the Nintendo Switch version offers a completely standalone story, ensuring accessibility for newcomers as well as existing enthusiasts of the franchise. Players begin their journey waking up with no memory in the heart of Kamitsubaki City, a metropolis defined by its colossal central tower and a wealth of secrets lurking just beneath its surface.

The protagonist quickly encounters Kafu Morisaki, who welcomes them into the Kamitsubaki Academy Newspaper Club.

From this point, players will immerse themselves in both the everyday life of Kamitsubaki Academy and the mysterious events that shape the city, deepening relationships with Kafu and other club members such as Rime Tanioki, Haru Asanushi, Sekai Yorukawa, Koko, and Rinne. Gameplay in Kamitsubaki Academy Newspaper Club is divided into two primary modes.

In the "Story Parts," players interact with fellow club members, uncovering narrative threads and gaining insights into both their surroundings and their forgotten past.

Progression through these segments depends on investigative success and item discovery in the alternate mode—the "Investigation Parts." Here, players can traverse Kamitsubaki City, pursue rumors, and handle investigation requests that will gradually reveal the city's hidden lore.

Each investigative encounter is influenced by five key attributes: Movement, Wisdom, Insight, Mystery, and Luck.

Gathering items and perks enhances these parameters, enabling players to tackle more complex mysteries as the story unfolds. The decision to bring Kamitsubaki Academy Newspaper Club to Nintendo Switch underscores Kamitsubaki Studio’s commitment to expanding the reach of its celebrated IP.

The inclusion of robust language options further demonstrates the developer's emphasis on accessibility for a global audience.

While the title will undoubtedly appeal to fans of interactive narrative and urban adventure games, its accessible format and standalone narrative ensure it will be just as welcoming to first-time players with no prior exposure to the Kamitsubaki City series. With its launch set for October 30, 2025, on the Nintendo eShop, Kamitsubaki Academy Newspaper Club is poised to become a standout addition to the Switch’s diverse library of adventure games.

Fans can look forward to an immersive experience that blends school life simulation with investigative gameplay—making it a noteworthy release for Switch players this year.
