Acclaim and Wabisabi Games have announced HYPERyuki: Snowboard Syndicate for Nintendo Switch 2, with a digital launch on the Nintendo eShop scheduled for early 2027.
The upcoming title aims to recapture the energy of Y2K-era extreme sports games while delivering modern multiplayer and progression systems tailored to the Switch 2 hardware and its online services.
Release details and platform
HYPERyuki: Snowboard Syndicate will release digitally on Nintendo eShop worldwide in early 2027 for Nintendo Switch 2.
The announcement positions the game as a winter sports entry that blends competitive racing and trick-driven scoring, developed by Wabisabi Games and published by Acclaim.
Gameplay, modes, and progression
The game challenges players to select a rider, then shred courses inspired by real-world locations while chaining tricks and hunting for optimal lines.
Players can unlock cosmetics and boards as they progress: the title will feature 11 unique riders and 47 boards, each with distinct stats and visual flair.
A dedicated endless mode lets players explore mountains without time pressure, while challenge modes focus on high scores and leaderboard placement.
Publisher-provided feature overview, paraphrased
According to the publisher, tracks are handcrafted to reward both speed and exploration, with hidden secrets placed across each mountain.
Challenge modes are designed around trick chaining, pickups, and time-optimized runs for leaderboard competition.
The game encourages collection and customization, offering a steady stream of unlocks tied to performance.
An exploration-focused endless mode provides a no-timer environment for players who prefer roaming and experimentation over competitive runs.
Locations and presentation
HYPERyuki will send riders across a variety of themed slopes inspired by global locations, from neon-lit Tokyo and Hokkaido's powder to Canadian forests and sun-drenched Mexican peaks, with each area delivering unique atmosphere and level design.
Multiplayer and social features
Multiplayer supports local split-screen for up to four players and online sessions for up to eight players.
The title also supports local GameShare and online GameShare through GameChat, enabling shared play and voice-enabled coordination during matches.
