Join the Fun in OBAKEIDORO 2: Chase & Seek
Katsu Tanaka, the Director of OBAKEIDORO 2: Chase & Seek, has announced that the game will be coming out on Nintendo Switch 2. The announcement occurred during the Japanese Nintendo Direct on April 2, 2025. This sequel builds on the fun of the original OBAKEIDORO! and brings a fresh setting inspired by old Japan.
This asymmetric multiplayer chase and seek game lets up to eight players jump into fast-paced matches with simple, easy to learn rules. While full gameplay details and the exact release date are still under wraps, you can look forward to playing in the summer of 2025. In the meantime, check out the first trailer below.
If you are new to OBAKEIDORO!, it is a cute or “KAWAII” take on the classic chase and capture genre, designed for all ages. Each match lasts just three minutes, making it easy to pick up and play. You will either join the Human team with three players and try to escape jail or play as the Monster with one player and capture everyone before time runs out. Special character skills and traits add extra layers of strategy, keeping every round exciting.
After nearly six years, OBAKEIDORO 2: Chase & Seek is finally on its way. Get ready for a charming yet slightly spooky adventure where quick thinking and teamwork make all the difference.
