Ghostpia Nintendo Switch physical release set for Japan with English support, pre-orders open

Ghostpia Season One started out digital-only, but over in Japan, a physical release is planned. It will launch on March 13, 2025.

Ghostpia previously came out in English, and that will be supported in the new boxed version. Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese will also be included on the cartridge.

We originally saw the game on the Nintendo eShop back in 2023. Below is an official overview:

They say this is an ideal town, a true utopia for ghosts…but is it really? Can you really call this place a utopia? More than anything Sayoko longs to return home, but that may prove harder than it seems. With forgotten memories to recover and a mysterious girl to investigate Sayoko has her hands full.

Ghostpia is a kinetic, visual novel with colourful visuals that look like a picture book. Adorned with glitches and noise, ghostpia is inspired by a deep sense of longing and nostalgia. Follow Sayoko’s captivating story as she searches for answers in this isolated town, surrounded by a vast desert of snow and unable to fit in with the ghostly atmosphere.

Enjoy a rich cinematic experience with a beautiful melancholic soundtrack and unique sound effects, to fully immerse yourself in the moving, sometimes sombre, sometimes exciting, narrative that ghostpia is trying to tell.

As with all Switch games, the Stray retail editions will be region free. That means anyone can import a copy and play it on their console.
