Creature collector and farming sim hybrid Ooblets was revealed for Nintendo Switch during today’s Indie World Showcase, with a release window set for this summer. Check out the short but sweet trailer below.

The game’s been in Early Access on the Epic Games Store (and Game Preview on Xbox) since July 2020, but now we’re finally getting the full 1.0 experience. Here’s what the press release has to say.

Ooblets has grown immensely since its Early Access release in the summer of 2020, with new regions, ooblets, crops, story content, and many quality of life updates already released for Early Access players. Now with its 1.0 release, whether players have played during the Early Access period or waited patiently, the developers are excited for players to experience the full breadth of Ooblets. The 1.0 release of Ooblets will include everything previously released as well as multiple new locations to visit, new quests, and the conclusion to the game’s main storyline.

And here’s an overview and feature list. There’s so much to do! I mean, we’ve got shopkeeping, house decorating, “card-based dance” battling, and petting the ooblets?!
