SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide Announced for Nintendo Switch 2 – Release Date, Editions, and Key Features Detailed

THQ Nordic has officially confirmed the upcoming release of SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide, marking the beloved franchise’s debut on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Developed by the seasoned team at Purple Lamp, the new 3D platformer will launch worldwide on November 18, 2025, expanding both the SpongeBob SquarePants universe and the growing software portfolio for Nintendo's next-generation hardware. SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide is the third installment in Purple Lamp's well-received lineup of SpongeBob games, following the successful remakes and spin-offs that revitalized classic entries for new audiences.

This marks the IP’s first appearance on the Nintendo Switch 2, giving fans access to enhanced visuals, performance, and platform-specific features possible with the latest hardware. The game’s narrative thrust sees the undersea world of Bikini Bottom thrown into supernatural disarray as a clash between the notorious Flying Dutchman and King Neptune unleashes ghostly chaos.

Players will once again team up as SpongeBob and Patrick, taking advantage of their unique and complementary platforming abilities—such as Patrick’s newly introduced grappling and burrowing skills.

The adventure promises to blend the series’ trademark humor with expanded gameplay, as fans navigate iconic environments including Neptune’s Palace, Atlantis City, and the frosty heights of Mount Bikini, facing formidable foes like Hibernation Sandy in epic boss encounters. THQ Nordic emphasizes a commitment to authenticity, featuring full voice acting from the original cast across a wide array of languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Japanese.

The classic fun of sliding, rock-rolling, and ghostboarding returns with updated mechanics, ensuring both nostalgia and fresh challenges for dedicated players. In addition to the standard release, a robust lineup of special editions caters to both new fans and long-standing collectors.

The Ghostly Edition includes a physical copy of the game, a collectible steelbook case, the downloadable “Natural Costume Pack,” a Golden Spatula keychain, five lenticular cards, and a Flying Dutchman sew-on patch.

For players seeking ongoing content, the Tidal Season Pass expands gameplay with additional challenge levels and cosmetic packs, such as the “Plankton Portal Challenge” and “Search for SquarePants Costume Pack.” For the ultimate franchise experience, the Bikini Bottom Bundle – Ultimate Edition brings together the main game alongside previous hits SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake and SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, as well as all digital content from the Tidal Season Pass and the Natural Costume Pack. SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide aims to continue the series’ legacy of family-friendly entertainment, innovative platforming, and massive global appeal.

With its launch on Nintendo Switch 2, THQ Nordic and Purple Lamp set a new high-water mark for licensed games on the next-gen platform.
