Hello Kitty Party Land is a family-friendly party game that gathers the wider Sanrio universe into one playful theme park of activities. Up to four players can compete or cooperate across more than 45 mini games alongside a board-game mode, teaming up as one of 16 playable Sanrio characters. Along the way you can meet and collect stickers from a cast of more than 145 beloved characters, from Hello Kitty and My Melody to Cinnamoroll and Kuromi.
The game arrives on Thursday, October 29, 2026, releasing simultaneously on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. It is published by Bandai Namco Entertainment and marks the debut console release from Sanrio's own Sanrio Games label. Pre-orders are already open at major retailers, with a Standard (Day 1) Edition and a physical-goodie-packed Premium Edition to choose from.
Sanrio fans have long wanted a big, modern party title that puts the whole character roster on screen together, and this is the first to do it on Nintendo hardware. The blend of local and online play for one to four players makes it an easy pick for family game nights and casual get-togethers. With a launch aimed squarely at the holiday season, anticipation has been building through the countdown to late October.
