In a significant move for fans of monster collecting RPGs, Team17 has officially announced its partnership to publish the much-anticipated LumenTale: Memories of Trey on Nintendo Switch.
Developed by Beehive Studios, this unique take on the creature collector genre is now scheduled for a Spring 2026 release, following a recently confirmed delay.
LumenTale: Memories of Trey transports players to the vibrant region of Talea, where immersive exploration, captivating storytelling, and a powerful emotional journey await.
Set in a world where mystical creatures known as Animons coexist with humans, the game centers on Trey, a protagonist who embarks on a quest to recover lost memories amidst regional turmoil and separation.
As players traverse the land of Talea, they'll confront the strife dividing its inhabitants and uncover long-held legends that could shape the fate of the world. Core to the gameplay is the innovative battle system, offering up to 4v4 encounters and featuring over 140 unique Animons.
These magical beings, each composed of an energy that allows them to influence the emotions and souls of all living creatures, can be battled, befriended, and collected.
Combat revolves around strategic choices using 'Actions' and 'Action Speed Points,' compelling players to carefully weigh their moves and maximize their tactical advantage.
The game also integrates minigames, exploration, and challenging puzzles, while the Holoken tool lets players interact with and capture Animons throughout the overworld. Beehive Studios' CEO and lead developer Paolo Lella described the project as an homage to classic monster collector games, while striving to innovate within the genre.
In a statement following the publishing announcement, Lella emphasized, "LumenTale: Memories of Trey is an ambitious endeavor designed to offer something new while honoring its roots.
Team17's experience and deep industry knowledge will be invaluable to our vision.
Together, we are committed to creating an extraordinary experience for players around the globe." Echoing these sentiments, Rob Elser, Senior Producer at Team17, commented, "It's been a joy to collaborate with Beehive Studios.
Their vision for Trey's journey is coming to life beautifully, and we're excited to support the team's efforts in building this enchanting world." With Team17's renowned track record for publishing high-quality indie titles and Beehive Studios’ creative direction, LumenTale: Memories of Trey is positioned to captivate both long-standing fans of the genre and new players alike.
The game aims to deliver a blend of nostalgia and innovation, promising deep exploration, a robust battle system, and a rich narrative when it launches on the Nintendo Switch eShop in Spring 2026.
