Loddlenaut Heads to Nintendo Switch in September, Goddles Update Announced

Publisher Secret Mode and indie game developer Moon Lagoon have announced that their cute and cozy pollution-cleaning open-world adventure game, Loddlenaut, is heading to Nintendo Switch this September.

The Nintendo Switch version will contain the previously released Loddlepedia update. This update added the loddle tracker, new loddle variants, and a range of gameplay improvements.

Alongside the Nintendo Switch release, a big new update, the Goddles update, will simultaneously launch on PC, Mac, and Nintendo Switch. This free update will allow players to grow plants and introduce new loddles into biomes, increasing their pollution resistance. With these new loddles, players can swim freely without the worry of pollution returning to restored biomes.

Other changes in the update include a global pollution tracker and increased inventory space. Players will want to explore the planet of GUP-14 to discover some enormous and ancient loddles hiding about.

Loddlenaut Availability

The Nintendo Switch release of Loddlenaut will take place on September 19, 2024. On the same date, the Goddles Update with be released on PC for Windows and Mac, along with the Nintendo Switch.

Loddlenaut is currently available on PC for Windows and Mac via Humble Bundle and Steam for $19.99. The game’s original soundtrack is also available for $6.99. As of press time, the PC and Mac version of the game features an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam with 97% of the more than 1,500 reviews being positive.

For three years from the game’s launch on November 16, 2023, Secret Mode, the game’s publisher, will donate 0.05GBP per sale of Loddlenaut to WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation. WDC is a UK registered charity no. 1014705.
