Petal Runner Releasing on PC, Switch 2 in March

Publisher iam8bit Presents and developer Nano Park Studios announced that retro-styled slice-of-life RPG Petal Runner will release on March 8, 2027. The release date announcement came with the reveal that the game will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in addition to its previously-announced PC version.

Petal Runner is set in the solarpunk open-world city of Sapphire Valley, where a new energy product created from flowers known as the Leap Cell is used to power the latest generation of artificial pets, called Hanapets. Players control Cali, who is joined by first-generation Hanapet Kira, as they look to become a Petal Runner, specialised motorcycle-riding couriers who deliver Leap Cells.
