MIX Summer Game Showcase: Little Nemo and the Guardians of Slumberland

Step into a cutesy and colourful metroidvania as the iconic Little Nemo, armed with toys, candy, and stuffed animals, in this upcoming 2D adventure by DIE SOFT.

In this non-linear, NES-era platformer, players will gain new abilities as they explore the lands inspired by Winsor McCay's Little Nemo comics. The key to successfully travelling is the numerous ability-granting toys that he'll find along the way, as well as his PJs, which each empower him in a different way. Be careful to not take too much damage, as this will wake up Nemo and take you back to the last checkpoint.

Here's what you can expect from Little Nemo and the Guardians of Slumberland:

• Play as the iconic protagonist from Winsor McCay's Little Nemo comics.
• NES-era platformer with a non-linear world.
• Unlock new abilities by acquiring new toys.
• Empower Little Nemo by upgrading his PJs.
• Enjoy a hand-animated world set in the same land as the comics.
• Defeat bosses throughout the adventure.
• Interact with iconic characters.
• Don't take too much damage, or you'll be sent back to the latest checkpoint.

Little Nemo and the Guardians of Slumberland's release date has been announced — it will release on Steam during Q1 2026, with the Nintendo Switch version following later the same year. Meanwhile, you can wishlist it here!
