Snack World remake announced

Level-5 has announced *Snack World: Reloaded*, a remake of *Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl - Gold*, for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Steam. (snack-world.jp) The company revealed the game during its “LEVEL5 VISION 2026 Craftsmanship” presentation, which streamed on April 10, 2026 at 21:00 Japan Standard Time. Level-5 has not announced a release date. (level5.co.jp, gematsu.com) Level-5 says the remake adds upgraded graphics, refined gameplay and controls, and a new mode that lets players take the role of Chup, the protagonist from the *Snack World* anime. The official English site calls it a remake of *The Dungeon Crawl - Gold*, the expanded version of the earlier game. (snack-world.jp, gematsu.com) The original *Snack World* started as a Japan-only Nintendo 3DS game, *Snack World: Trejarers*, in 2017. *The Dungeon Crawl - Gold* later brought an expanded version to Nintendo Switch in Japan in 2018 and to western markets in 2020. (rpgamer.com, nintendoeverything.com) That release history helps explain why Level-5 is framing this as more than a straight visual update. Chief Executive Officer Akihiro Hino said during the reveal that the team made “major updates” to the gameplay, controls, and story. (theotakuauthority.com) The platform list also marks a wider push than the series had before. The previous western release was tied to Nintendo Switch, while *Reloaded* is planned for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and personal computer through Steam. (rpgsite.net, snack-world.jp) Level-5 used the same April 10 showcase to update several projects, including *Professor Layton and the New World of Steam* and a new title called *Pufflings: Journey Through a Fantasy World*. *Snack World: Reloaded* arrived as one part of a broader lineup reset after multiple delays across the company’s slate in recent years. (level5.co.jp, nintendolife.com) For now, Level-5 has shown a teaser, named the platforms, and outlined the new Chup mode. The next question is whether *Reloaded* gets a date soon or stays in the company’s familiar “in development” category a while longer. (snack-world.jp, nintendolife.com)
