After it was announced close to a year ago, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream now has a release date on Nintendo Switch. Nintendo just shared the news that the game is planned to launch on April 16, 2026.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream continues the series that started many years ago. This is the first new entry in over a decade.

Note that there will not be a dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. However, the game will be fully playable on the new console.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream was first announced last March. Then in September, it was given a spring launch window. Today’s Nintendo Direct provided a proper release date.

Below is an overview of the game:

On a small island floating in the sea, Mii characters live their own carefree lives.

Then, choose their personality and voice, and help your Mii characters enjoy their island life however they see fit. You can see what’s on their minds, help them solve problems, watch them interact, cultivate their friendships and more.
