Goodnight Universe shares Nintendo Switch 2, Switch release date

As part of today’s Nintendo Direct, we’ve learned when Goodnight Universe will be out. It’ll be heading to both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch on November 11, 2025.

We originally heard about Goodnight Universe earlier in the year. The emotional adventure game is a spiritual successor to the BAFTA-winning Before Your Eyes.

Catch up on everything you need to know in the following overview:

From the BAFTA-award winning developers of Before Your Eyes, the Tribeca winning title Goodnight Universe tells the story of Isaac, a 6-month-old baby, developing mysterious psychic powers. What you want most is to be loved and accepted by your family, but a secretive tech corporation wants you for their own. The game features an immersive “camera as controller” mode, expanding on the innovative use of camera-based technology that the development team is known for.

The leading cast includes Lewis Pullman (Thunderbolts, Top Gun Maverick) as the main character Isaac, and Kerri Kenney-Silver (Reno 911, The Four Seasons), Al Madrigal (The Daily Show, Lopez vs. Lopez), and Tessa Espinola (S.W.A.T, The Big Show Show) as Isaac’s family. Beau Bridges (Matlock, Homeland), Timothy Simons (VEEP, Nobody Wants This.) and Sarah Burns (Barry, Unfrosted) are cast in supporting character voice roles.
