We hope you will enjoy this update!
We are deeply sorry of the delay of this content update, as we were dealing with several administrative issues that took a lot of time and energy during those past 2 months. We are slowly seeing the end of it, but the next update might also experienced some delay until we fully complete those issues.
The Sand of Museum level was also quite ambitious in term of features and content and we are really proud of the work done on it.
Switch Release
We will work this year on the developement of the Switch release of Wagotabi. There is no precise date decided for the release yet, but it should be for this year (2026). The Switch game will have the same content as the one already on Steam and mobile, and the progress could be also synchronized using the built-in cloud save system. More details on the release will be announced when the release date will be decided. It will be a Switch 1 game (compatible also for Switch 2).
The development will be done in parallel of the regular content updates.
Recognized by Okayama prefecture
On a final note, we are really proud to announce that we are now officially regognized by Okayama prefecture (岡山県) ! You can check out their page over there.
