Description

Tokkun Studio Unveils Puzkin: Magnetic Odyssey for Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 Veteran-led developer Tokkun Studio has officially announced its upcoming sandbox MMORPG, Puzkin: Magnetic Odyssey, with a planned launch on both Nintendo Switch 1 and the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 platforms.

The news was delivered alongside the project's debut trailer and a Kickstarter campaign targeting €35,000 in funding.

Puzkin: Magnetic Odyssey is designed as a cross-platform, family-friendly online experience, aiming to set new standards for creative and safe play. A Collaboration of Industry Powerhouses Tokkun Studio brings together some of the gaming industry’s most seasoned talents for Puzkin: Magnetic Odyssey.

The project is led by CEO and Art Director Benoit Ferriere, whose impressive portfolio includes serving as lead visual artist on Paper Mario: The Origami King, art director for GunGrave Gore, and senior artist roles on Monster Hunter Rise and GWENT: The Witcher.

Supporting Ferriere are 3D Artist and Lead Tech Artist Julien Noël, who has played key roles on titles such as Pacific Rim and Monster Hunter: Rise, and Kamikokuryo Isamu, renowned for his work as art director on Final Fantasy XII through XV, now guiding the creation of Puzkin’s expansive worlds. An Ambitious, Safe Playground for All Ages Described by Tokkun Studio as “the safest and most creative online world for families,” Puzkin: Magnetic Odyssey places players in a vibrant, magical universe where the balance of nature depends on mystical magnetic energy and inhabitants known as Puzzies.

Players assume the roles of chosen children, tasked with restoring harmony through exploration, questing, creative building, and forging alliances in a community-centric environment. The game distinguishes itself with a unique communication system: in lieu of traditional voice, video, or text chat, multiplayer interaction is handled through tags, bubbles, and emotes—ensuring a secure and inclusive space for users of all ages.

Core gameplay includes magnetic-based construction, puzzle-solving, capturing and collecting Puzzies, engaging combat with superpowers, and building personal shops to trade or sell exclusive in-game items. Genre-Blending Gameplay and Visual Inspiration Puzkin: Magnetic Odyssey offers a blend of sandbox creativity and MMORPG progression, boasting features that appeal to a wide demographic—from children to adults up to age 50.

Key game highlights include: - Collaborative world-building using magnetic physics and themed vehicles - Community challenges: restore legendary locations, defend against Slime invasions, solve puzzles, and explore dungeons - No open chat: communication is via curated, safe channels - A unique currency (PUZKOIN) for deep avatar and world customization - Dynamic combat with melee, ranged, and special abilities - Safari and collection elements, including photo-taking and trading card exchange - Stunning visuals influenced by Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, and Genshin Impact in a modern animated style Diverse Traversal and Customization Options Players can pilot giant mechas for defense and exploration, ride jet-skis, glide using wings, race across varied terrain on hoverboards, or drive cars and motorbikes, adding an exciting dimension to gameplay and discovery across the world of Puzkin. A Cross-Platform Future Puzkin: Magnetic Odyssey is optimized not only for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, but also for mobile, tablet, PC, and Mac, widening accessibility for families and gamers everywhere.

The Kickstarter campaign is now live, inviting community support to bring this vision to life. As development continues, Puzkin: Magnetic Odyssey is poised to offer Nintendo gamers a rich, safe, and engaging world to explore together.
