rokaplay and Cyberware have set a release date for their cosy survival-adventure Solarpunk, confirming the game will arrive digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide on 8 June 2026.
The announcement positions Solarpunk as a relaxed exploration and building experience tailored for both solo players and small cooperative groups.
Solarpunk places players in a series of floating islands high above the clouds, where resource management, base-building and gentle exploration form the core loop.
The developers presented the experience as an island-focused, leisurely adventure that blends farming, crafting and renewable-energy systems.
Players can gather materials, design and customize a floating home, and maintain renewable infrastructure such as solar panels and windmills to keep their settlement running.
The game supports single-player and local or online co-op for up to four players, enabling friends to collaborate on building projects and island exploration.
Solarpunk also emphasizes airship travel: players can construct and pilot their own airship to move between distant islands and expand their floating sanctuary.
Key features outlined by the publisher include:
- Relaxed single-player and laid-back co-op play for up to four players.
- Customizable floating homes and base-building systems.
- Farming and crafting mechanics with opportunities to automate simple systems.
- Renewable energy management using sun, wind and water to power islands.
- Airship construction and exploration to traverse the skybound archipelago.
A trailer accompanied the release date announcement, offering a first look at the game's aesthetic and core systems ahead of the June launch.
Solarpunk will be available as a digital purchase on the Nintendo eShop at launch; no physical release was mentioned in the developer statement.
Alex Seedhouse, who has specialised in covering Nintendo for 16 years and has led Nintendo coverage at events including E3 and gamescom, provided the original reporting around the announcement.
Developers rokaplay and Cyberware now have a clear timetable for bringing their eco-focused, cosy survival game to Nintendo's next-generation handheld-home console successor.
