Onibi has confirmed that its monster-taming action RPG Tomo: Endless Blue is in development for Nintendo Switch 2 and will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop.
The announcement, made during the closing phase of the game's Kickstarter campaign, positions Tomo as a Switch 2 launch target for players who favor creature collection, exploration, and building mechanics on Nintendo hardware.
Tomo: Endless Blue blends open-ocean exploration with creature collection.
According to developer materials, the game centers on setting sail across the Endless Blue to discover and capture more than 150 unique creatures called Tomo.
Key gameplay features confirmed by Onibi include procedurally generated islands—designed so no two islands are the same—exploration of towns and ancient ruins, and mechanics that emphasize bringing captured Tomo home to live in player-built island settlements rather than simply storing them away.
Onibi founder and CEO Benjamin Devienne framed the decision to support Nintendo Switch 2 as a response to community interest.
Devienne said the team had heard players asking about Switch 2 since the earliest days of the campaign and that the core fantasy of sailing to find rare creatures, returning them home, and building a world around them "felt very natural on Nintendo hardware," which led Onibi to confirm Switch 2 development during the Kickstarter's final days.
The studio has not provided a release date or window; Tomo: Endless Blue will launch digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide when it is ready.
A trailer has been released alongside the announcement, offering a first look at the game's visuals, creature designs, and island-based building systems.
For industry observers, the confirmation of Switch 2 support highlights an ongoing trend of indie developers targeting Nintendo's next-generation portable-home hybrid hardware with narrative-driven, exploratory titles.
Onibi's Kickstarter-backed approach also underscores the continued role of crowdfunding in helping small studios secure platform commitments and visibility.
Further updates on Tomo: Endless Blue, including a release window, platform details, and expanded gameplay information, will likely come through Onibi's official channels and future Nintendo Directs or store listings.
For now, the confirmed Switch 2 development and eShop distribution provide clear signals about the game's intended platform and delivery model.
