SFB Games confirms The Mermaid Mask release date for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch
SFB Games has officially confirmed that The Mermaid Mask will launch digitally worldwide on the Nintendo eShop for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch on 16 July 2026.
The announcement establishes a firm release date for the studio's latest narrative-driven mystery and clarifies platform availability across Nintendo's current and legacy handheld-home hybrid hardware.
Game premise and investigative setup
In The Mermaid Mask, players investigate the locked-room death of the enigmatic Captain Magnus Mortuga, whose body is found alone in a sealed compartment of his submarine with a single fatal wound and no apparent weapon.
The only unusual clue is an old, barnacle-covered cauldron that appears recently opened yet is empty.
Captain Seafoam summons Detective Grimoire and his partner Sally to board the submarine, armed with a cryptic letter and two photographs, and to unravel a case that challenges conventional explanation.
Voice cast and credited performers
SFB Games confirmed that Edwyn Tiong and Amber Lee Connors reprise their roles as Detective Grimoire and Sally, respectively.
The English-language cast also includes Tara Langella, David Menkin, Steven Kearney, Justine Leah Hince, Anairis Quiñones, Eric Morgan Stuart, Jacqui Bardelang, Christy Meyer and Alex Bankier.
The developer lists the game as fully voice-acted for its cast of suspects and characters.
