Konami has officially opened pre-orders for Survival Kids, set to release on Nintendo Switch 2 this June 5, 2025. The reimagined classic brings co-op survival gameplay to the next-gen console with a massive focus on social play.
Whether you’re exploring solo or teaming up, Survival Kids offers:
- Split-screen local co-op
- Online multiplayer for up to four players
- Hybrid play, allowing a mix of couch and online friends to join together
Using Nintendo Switch 2’s GameChat and GameShare, only one person needs to own the game for local multiplayer. Combine that with online co-op and you’ve got an island adventure that’s as flexible as it is fun.
The story follows four kids stranded on mysterious islands, who must cooperate to survive, craft gear, solve puzzles, and unravel the map’s hidden secrets. No over-complicated inventory menus—just action, exploration, and creativity.
Originally a hit on Game Boy Color in 1999, this full remake uses Unity and expands the original formula with intuitive controls, modern visuals, and new mechanics.
Key features include:
- New puzzles and survival challenges
- Streamlined crafting system
- No need for everyone to buy the game with GameShare
- Full support for Nintendo Switch 2’s latest multiplayer tech
Whether you’re a nostalgic fan or new to the series, Survival Kids looks ready to be your summer co-op obsession.
