Bee Simulator: The Hive announced for Nintendo Switch

Untold Tales and Varsav Game Studios are bringing Bee Simulator: The Hive to Nintendo Switch, the two sides revealed today. It’s due out later in 2025.

Bee Simulator: The Hive contains the original game from 2019 plus a hefty expansion named The Hive. The expansion includes new content and mechanics such as the ability build and customize a bee hive colony. Additionally, there are wind tunnels and jet streams to zip around the map faster, two new mini-game challenges, bee vision for gathering resources and highlighting outposts, weather randomization (in free flight mode), and more co-op maps playable in single-player.

Here’s some additional information:

Take flight in a heartwarming single-player story where you must protect your hive from looming danger. As one of the swarm’s most diligent workers, your tiny wings will carry the fate of your entire colony.

Fly around and explore every nook and cranny of a vast, semi-open world map inspired by New York’s famous Central Park. From ponds to picnic grounds, funfairs to the zoo, you’ll uncover secrets, mini-games, and resources throughout. Find people, animals, plants, and other insects to interact with along the way.

The Hive expansion lets you build and customize your very own beehive from the ground up. Optimize your resource-gathering to collect what you need to create a buzzing home. Use a variety of practical and decorative buildings to bring your hive to life.

Being a bee means non-stop activity! Race through jet streams, collect pollen, perform bee dances, defend your colony from wasps, and tackle various challenges in an exciting mix of exploration and action-packed gameplay.

Team up with up to four friends or family in split-screen co-op. Play through custom-designed multiplayer maps with both cooperative and competitive game modes—fun for everyone, young and old!

Soar through the world with a peaceful and immersive soundtrack composed by Mikołaj Stroiński, renowned for his work on The Witcher 3 and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.
