Moonlight Peaks Release Date Announced for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2

XSEED Games and Marvelous Europe have officially announced the release date for their highly anticipated gothic life simulation game, Moonlight Peaks.

Developed by Little Chicken Game Company, Moonlight Peaks is set to launch globally, both physically and digitally via the Nintendo eShop, on July 7, 2026 for Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

Moonlight Peaks offers players a unique blend of cozy farming and supernatural adventure, set in a mysterious town inhabited by a range of fantastical creatures—including vampires, werewolves, witches, and mermaids.

Players will step into the role of a young vampire seeking a life beyond the shadow of their infamous father, Count Dracula.

Guided by a desire for compassion, creativity, and wholesome living, players are invited to rejuvenate their family’s abandoned homestead and start fresh among the supernatural denizens of Moonlight Peaks. In a press announcement, the publisher emphasized the game’s thematic focus on personal growth and community building, stating: “Even when burdened by a legendary lineage like that of Count Dracula, sometimes it’s time to forge your own path.

In Moonlight Peaks, players are encouraged to redefine what it means to be a vampire, embracing compassion and farming instead of eternal darkness.” Key features of Moonlight Peaks include: 1.

**Immersive Life Simulation:** Customization is central, allowing players to craft the perfect vampire persona and form meaningful bonds with residents, uncover town history, and potentially spark romance.

With 24 characters open to romantic pursuits, players can expect a diverse and engaging social experience. 2.

The experience expands as players acquire new tools and develop their property. 3.

The arrival of Moonlight Peaks for both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 marks a significant release for the series of life simulation games with a gothic twist.

XSEED Games and Marvelous Europe continue their collaboration with Little Chicken Game Company, bringing innovative indie experiences to the Nintendo platform.
