Outright Games and Dr. Seuss Enterprises have released a gameplay trailer for The Grinch 2: Saving Christmas ahead of the game’s Nintendo Switch launch.
Developed by Casual Brothers, the family-focused 3D platformer is scheduled to arrive both physically and digitally worldwide on the Nintendo eShop on 18 September 2026.
Trailer walkthrough and level structure
The publisher’s trailer guides viewers through the game’s four distinct worlds and a total of 23 levels specifically designed to be accessible to younger players.
Players will navigate environments that include the icy slopes of Mt.
Crumpit, the mushroom-filled Who Wood, the cascading waterfalls of the Grinch’s Cave, and the snow-dusted streets of Who-ville.
Each area presents platforming challenges, hidden paths and festive collectibles such as ornaments and decorations.
Gadgets, characters and co-op
Outright Games highlighted the Grinch’s array of gadgets as core tools for traversal and puzzle-solving.
The trailer shows the Grinch using Rocket Skates for bursts of speed, a Jetpack for short flights, and a Snowball Maker to freeze foes, all paired with the character’s signature candy cane to access secrets and solve environmental puzzles.
The game supports both single-player and local cooperative play, allowing a second player to join as Max to tackle platforming sections and gather every decoration needed to build Who-ville’s ultimate Christmas tree.
Developer and publisher context
Casual Brothers is credited as the developer on the title, with Outright Games publishing under license from Dr. Seuss Enterprises.
Outright Games’ materials describe the project as a "heartwarming, high-energy 3D platforming journey" that revisits iconic Dr. Seuss locations and characters for a family-friendly seasonal release.

Outright Games Group CEO Robin Flodin said the studio was eager to show fans what the team has built, noting that the game combines familiar Dr. Seuss locations with inventive gadgets and cooperative play to create a festive experience aimed at kids and families through September and the holiday season.
