Boulder, Colorado (June 18, 2024) – Moments ago, Sunblink announced that the critically acclaimed cozy life sim Hello Kitty Island Adventure will debut in 2025 on PC and Nintendo Switch as a Timed Console Exclusive, followed by PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 releases.

Nominated for Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards 2023 and winner of a Webby People’s Voice award, Hello Kitty Island Adventure first launched exclusively via Apple Arcade and was one of 2023’s biggest mobile sensations, winning the Apple Arcade Game of the Year award. Now, Hello Kitty and Friends will extend their vacation to Nintendo Switch, PC and PlayStation starting in 2025!

“The tremendous response from fans and critics for our initial release was beyond our wildest dreams,” said Chelsea Howe, Chief Product Officer at Sunblink. “We are so excited to bring these charming, cozy island vibes to more players next year. Just as we’ve done since launch, we’ll continue adding new features, storylines, and rewards to the game in the coming months so all players, regardless of platform, get the absolute best experience with no compromises.”

When My Melody is invited to open a gift shop at Big Adventures Park, she invites Hello Kitty and her friends—including you!—to come along for a tropical island getaway. But things go sideways upon arrival, with the friends separated and the park found abandoned. Join forces with Hello Kitty to restore the island’s beauty and the desolate theme park to its former glory!
