A year after it was announced for the platform, Tanuki Sunset now has a release date on Switch. Rewind Games says that its title is slated for December 24, 2023.

Tanuki Sunset, a skateboarding game, was confirmed for Switch in October 2022. According to Rewind Games, the title has been optimized for the platform and the studio is promising “a fluid and responsive experience at 60 FPS during core gameplay, providing both new and returning players with a smooth and immersive gaming experience.”

Get caught up on everything you need to know in the following overview:

Meet Tanuki, a rad longboarding raccoon from Sunset Island. They may just be a raccoon, but they’re a raccoon with a dream – to land on the cover of FISH, the #1 longboarding magazine in the world!

Master the longboard as you drift through stunning mountain ranges, swerve through bustling city streets, and board along the sandy beaches of Sunset Island. Train Tanuki to perform epic tricks, from jumping off ramps to longboarding backwards.

Sounds easy, right?
Well, it is… if you can do it all while avoiding cars, trucks, and unexpectedly sharp corners.
And don’t forget to feed him! Raccoons are hungry trash pandas after all. Collect Tanuki Bits along the way to keep Tanuki fed and to upgrade your gear at Bob’s Skate Shop. If Tanuki’s going to be on the cover of FISH, they need some cool threads for the occasion. Ready to longboard to the top of the charts?

What to Expect:
– A Clever Raccoon (you)
– A Colorful and Retro Art Style
– Chill Beats to Match the Vibe
– Simple-to-use Controls (mostly)
– And an Arcade Experience (with a modern twist)

What our player’s say:
“that raccoon is my husband now”
“v aesthetic and v chill n the music is a vibe thank you”
“Skate fast, eat trash”

Tanuki Sunset will be sold via the Switch eShop. Pricing is set at $16.99.
