Zozo and the Lost Dreams Nintendo Switch Release Set for 2026 — Red Dunes Games and Agate Announce
Red Dunes Games and Indonesian studio Agate have confirmed that Zozo and the Lost Dreams, a cartoon-inspired 2D Metroidvania platformer, is scheduled to release on Nintendo Switch later in 2026.
The announcement comes alongside an official announcement trailer and positions the title as a stylized, family-friendly entry in the Metroidvania genre for Nintendo’s hybrid console.
In their joint announcement, Red Dunes Games and Agate said the game will arrive on Nintendo Switch in 2026.
The developers described Zozo and the Lost Dreams as a dreamscape-spanning platformer that channels classic Saturday-morning cartoon aesthetics into exploration-focused Metroidvania design.
Game overview (reported):
- Premise: Players take control of Zozo, a 13-year-old boy who dreams of being a superhero.
With help from his eccentric neighbor, Professor Aisha, Zozo enters vivid dream worlds to live out those fantasies.
A glitch traps him within the dreamscape, and the gameplay centers on navigating those dream levels to return home.
- Style and mechanics: The title is presented as a 2D Metroidvania platformer with distinct dream-themed biomes that range from whimsical environments—like massive cupcake mountains—to levels populated by hostile computer ‘bugs.’
- Cast and story beats: Players will meet and befriend quirky NPCs called dreamlings, cooperate with a colorful supporting cast, and uncover a darker plot that threatens the continuity of Zozo’s dream worlds.
The announcement trailer, published by the developers, offers the first public look at the art direction, level design, and tone.
Red Dunes Games and Agate have not yet shared a specific release date beyond the 2026 window; they said further details, including a final launch date and platform-specific information, will be provided closer to release.
Zozo and the Lost Dreams joins a growing slate of indie Metroidvania titles targeting Nintendo Switch.
Readers can view the announcement trailer for a first look and should expect additional developer updates via official channels, including the studios’ social accounts and Nintendo-focused showcases.
We will update this story when a precise release date and eShop listing are confirmed.
