Esophaguys Nintendo Switch release date announced with new trailer

Esophaguys, the previously-announced physics-based platformer, shared its release date today. Those on Nintendo Switch will be able to play it starting on August 1, 2025.

We originally heard about Esophaguys back in February. The game is seeing a bit of a delay as it was originally planned for spring, but now we have a date locked in.

As a reminder, here’s what to expect:

You are the Esophaguys, old folks with elongating necks! Stretch, bite, and swing yourself around in one-to-four-player guttural mayhem: cooperative, competitive, and solo.

Key Features

• Cooperative Mode – Stretch, bite, and swing together, traversing and solving puzzles as you search to reactivate the forgotten monuments of your diasporic people.
• Minigame Mode – In team-based sports or free-for-all arena, compete, neck against neck, to determine who has the greatest gullet.
• Story Mode – Accompanied by poignant narration, embark on a mythical journey to reunite your lost kin. Will you uncover the true nature of the neck?
• Masochist Mode – No land. No checkouts. Nothing but neck. Subject yourself to grueling challenges in a hellish atmosphere ripe for speedrunning.
• Twanging Tones and Elderly Grunts – Lose yourself in a soundscape all its own. The first video game soundtrack dedicated to jews-harp music in a variety of strictly traditional and experimental styles. With painstaking adherence to centuries old tradition, only using instruments from their respective regions, jews-harp music from Austria, Norway, India, Kyrgyzstan, the British Isles and America will delight your ears with every jugular jiggle. Accompanied with over 3,000 personally recorded mouth-originated sound effects, prepare your cochleas to be tickled to the extreme.
