Family Friendly Gaming News
LOS ANGELES – April 3, in the year of our Lord 2025
– Konami Digital Entertainment Inc. (KONAMI) revealed
during Nintendo Direct that Survival Kids is launching
exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 as a day one release. Designed
and developed by Unity in collaboration with KONAMI, the game
brings cutting-edge expertise that showcases the new console’s
innovative features to a reimagined classic.
Survival Kids delivers an elevated co-op experience that
harnesses the enhanced capabilities of Nintendo Switch 2. The
brand-new console’s innovative communication and game-sharing
features allow players to seamlessly connect, strategize and
work together as they navigate the challenges of survival.
Players take on the role of four curious kids who, after
discovering a tattered map, set sail on a fateful journey – only
to be swept into a mysterious hidden world. Stranded across a
chain of uncharted islands resting on the backs of Whurtles
(whale-turtle creatures), they must rely on teamwork to explore,
gather resources, and craft essential tools. With support for
both local and online co-op, up to four players can chop, cook,
fish, and solve environmental puzzles. All while facing the
unpredictable dangers of their surroundings.
Originally released on Game Boy Color in 1999, Survival Kids was
ahead of its time, blending open-ended survival mechanics with
exploration, crafting, and storytelling – long before the genre
became mainstream. Now, this modern reinterpretation expands on
the original’s spirit of adventure, introducing fresh co-op
gameplay elements to offer new ways to survive, explore, and
adapt.
Survival Kids represents a landmark collaboration between KONAMI
and Unity, blending classic survival gameplay with modern
innovation. Introducing new co-op mechanics and multiplayer
functionality, the game stays true to its roots while also
evolving for today’s players.

Crafting, exploring and tools are all designed to work better

but if you and a friend work alongside each other you can bring
it down with half the effort! Whether playing with friends and

experience is played together!
