Critical Reflex and Denkiworks have confirmed the release date for Tanuki: Pon’s Summer, which is coming to both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
You play as Pon in this BMX-riding, package-delivering, open-world adventure game: a part-time mail-delivery tanuki and full-time show-off working to restore the Great Tanuki Shrine for the festival of a lifetime by summer’s end.
Set on a picturesque Japanese island that has been brought to life with colourful artwork, you will spend your time delivering mail, pulling off sweet BMX tricks, helping and befriending the townsfolk, joining fun summertime activities, making sushi and more.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Deliver the Mail in Style: Hop on your BMX and deliver letters and packages to the quirky inhabitants of a fictional Japanese island. Packages vary in size, weight, and shape, so it’s up to you to figure out how to get everything to its final destination.
- The Island Is Your Playground: Explore the island on two wheels, launching off ramps, grinding along rails, and stringing together tricks and combos as you discover new routes, radical heights and everything in between. Chase the satisfaction of a perfect landing across over 100 BMX challenges.
- Befriend Townsfolk with Summer Activities: As you build up friendship and loyalty with the island’s residents, they’ll invite you to a wide range of sports and activities. Make sushi, join a baseball game, step into the sumo ring and discover what else your new friends have going on. Every activity brings opportunities to earn rewards for the shrine, and more reasons to get attached to the people who live here.
- Restore the Shrine to Glory: Build, upgrade and decorate the shrine with the money and items you earn through deliveries and activities, all to get it ready in time for the big festival at the end of summer! Choose the details that make it yours, and watch your summer’s work take shape. When the Great Tanuki Festival arrives, you’ll have somewhere special to welcome the people you’ve spent the season getting to know.
Tanuki: Pon’s Summer will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch worldwide on 10 November 2026.
