Purple Lamp

System: Switch 2
Release date: November 18, 2025
Developer: Purple Lamp
Publisher: THQ Nordic

Are ya ready kids? Everyone’s favorite absorbent and porous fry cook is back in a new 3D platforming adventure. With Battle for Bikini Bottom and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Game both considered cult classics of the GameCube era of gaming, and this style of SpongeBob game making a return through developer Purple Lamp’s remake of Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated, and wholly original title The Cosmic Shake, I was very excited to see what was to come next. I thoroughly enjoyed the Rehydrated return to platforming for SpongeBob, but I was a little more mixed on The Cosmic Shake, which felt to me like it had too much back-tracking in its design and only having SpongeBob be playable felt like an odd decision at the time. However, it was a very ambitious game and a strong base to build off for the next entry and before you can stop on your right foot (don’t forget it!) and bring it around town, THQ Nordic has already cooked up a new original game with a supernatural twist. The story?

SpongeBob SquarePants Titans Tide trailer

Going along with the launch, we have a fresh trailer for SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide. This marks the series’ first appearance on Nintendo Switch 2.

SpongeBob SquarePants Titans of the Tide demo

Heads up for Nintendo Switch 2 owners: a demo for SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide has now gone live, accessible via the eShop. This comes ahead of next month’s launch.

With the demo, players can access the first levels of the game. SpongeBob and Patrick are both playing, and the latter character’s new abilities can be accessed.

Here’s some information about the game:

SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide just got its latest trailer showing off Jellyfish Fields.

The full level is the Haunted Jellyfish Fields and Mount Bikini, meaning there’s a frosty twist. This stage also has a battle against Hibernation Sandy.

SpongeBob SquarePants Titans of the Tide

THQ Nordic made it official today that SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide will be released on Nintendo Switch 2. Fans can grab it on November 18, 2025.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide, a 3D platformer, is the third entry in the series from Purple Lamp. It’s also the IP’s first appearance on Nintendo Switch 2. Pre-orders are already live here (including a collector’s edition), but note that it’s a game-key card.

While there’s been no official announcement, it’s claimed that SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide will be releasing on Nintendo Switch 2.

The game itself has yet to be revealed. However, we know that it exists as it was previously rated in Germany. Interestingly, Nintendo Switch 2 was not part of that original classification, but it would make sense for THQ Nordic to bring the new SpongeBob game over to Nintendo’s latest console.

Epic Mickey Rebrushed sales

THQ Nordic recently shared an update on sales of Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, which seem to be off to a slow start.

The company provided a small note about the game’s performance in its latest financial report. THQ Nordic simply said the following: “Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, late in the quarter, was well received by players but initial digital sales were slower than expected.” No specific figures were given.
