Sugardew Island release date set for March, new trailer

Rokaplay and Silver Lining Interactive just came through with a release date for Sugardew Island. The Nintendo Switch game launches digitally on March 7, 2025 with a physical version following on March 14.

Sugardew Island, a cozy farm shop sim, was announced last March. While it was originally planned for debut late in 2024, it ended up seeing a delay to early 2025.

A whole bunch of details about the game can be found in the following overview:

Sugardew Island invites you to run your own cozy farm shop, selling goods you farm on the island. You can’t manage your store without goods, so you must care for your animals, grow crops, gather resources and complete Harmony Tree quests to restore balance for the cute Forest Folk inhabitants.

Inspired by the beloved and classic Harvest Moon DS game, Sugardew Island – Your Cozy Farm Shop is a love letter to the cozy genre, where you can unwind, relax and enjoy hours of delightful gameplay running your own farm shop on a quiet and peaceful island.

Sugardew Island is an intentionally uncomplicated cozy farm shop sim, crafted by a tiny indie dev team. We developed Sugardew Island so you can unwind, relax, and enjoy your beloved genre.

In a bygone era, humans, animals, and the Forest Folk lived in perfect harmony on Sugardew Island. A seed, nurtured by all islanders, grew into a magnificent tree. However, driven by greed, humans sought to fell the Harmony Tree, disrupting the balance. The sudden change in their nature forced animals and Forest Folk to flee, leaving the island in ruins. Now, a lone being awaits someone to restore lost harmony.

After a surprising storm and a shipwreck, your journey begins as you awaken on a deserted island. To continue your adventure, you must collect Harmony by selling goods to the forest folk, healing the island and overcoming the thorns.

Take care of your animals and your farm, sell your goods to the cute Forest Folk, upgrade your farm and fulfil small orders from the Harmony Tree to fill the tiny island with life again.
