Dinkum Nintendo Switch Release Date Confirmed: Survival Life Sim Arrives November 2025

Krafton and indie developer James Bendon have officially confirmed that the beloved survival life simulation game Dinkum is launching on Nintendo Switch, with a release date set for November 6, 2025.

The announcement was made during today’s Nintendo Direct presentation, marking a significant moment for fans eager to experience Dinkum’s unique Australian-inspired adventure on a new platform. First released on PC to critical acclaim, Dinkum immerses players in a vibrant world modeled after the Australian outback, blending farming, resource gathering, town building, and multiplayer co-op in a charming visual style.

Players must farm, hunt, mine, fish, and forage to thrive, while expanding a customizable town and discovering what makes Dinkum a standout in the life simulation genre.

The game supports both solo and multiplayer modes, allowing friends to collaborate and shape their own slice of paradise together. According to statements from the publisher, Krafton, Dinkum for Nintendo Switch will retain all key features that have driven its popularity.

Core elements include an ever-changing environment affected by dynamic seasons and weather, which influence how crops grow and the resources available each day.

Players can plant crops, raise livestock, and fully personalize their dream farm, all while exploring diverse landscapes—from rugged red deserts and lush forests to mysterious, resource-rich mines. Resourcefulness is critical in Dinkum’s wild settings, with survival strategies ranging from direct confrontation with native creatures to smart trap placement and clever tool use.

With a variety of animals to hunt and materials to gather, every day offers new opportunities and challenges.

As towns expand, players can sell harvested goods to earn in-game currency, attract new residents, and unlock specialty shops, each contributing to a dynamic and evolving village atmosphere. With the upcoming Nintendo Switch release, Dinkum will be available digitally via the Nintendo eShop, joining Krafton’s lineup of titles recognized for their quality and vibrant community.

The decision to bring the game to the Switch reflects the platform’s thriving ecosystem for life simulator and indie titles. Dinkum’s arrival on Nintendo Switch on November 6, 2025, signals a noteworthy expansion for both the developer and its growing player base.

Fans can look forward to diving into this captivating survival life sim, either solo or with friends, continuing the game’s legacy as a beloved title among simulation enthusiasts.
