Microids and OSome Studio have confirmed a release date for Garfield: Escape From Monday on Nintendo Switch.
After Jon feeds Garfield spinach lasagna inspired by Chef Monday’s recipe, Garfield falls into a deep sleep.
In this nightmarish, veggie-filled 3D platformer, you must wake him up from his nightmare by defeating enemies and reactivating his taste buds by eating “a gigantic deal of lasagnas.”
Jon and his friends Odie, Arlene and Pookie are there to help, and you can also use his turkey, surfer and cowboy suits to gain access to amazing skills.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Move Like a Cat: Jump, climb the walls, curl up into a ball… you will always land on your feet!
- Embody Garfield in Every Form: Go airborne dressed as a turkey, slide on the water like a surfer and swing with your cowboy lasso!
- All the Garfield Cast is Here: Jon will be here to help you in your quest, along with Odie and Pookie. But beware Garfield’s archenemies, Nermal and Squeak!
- Explore Lively Worlds: Three worlds and dozens of levels filled with enemies to fight and lasagnas to devour to regain the taste.
- The More You Eat, the More Rooms You Edit: Gather tons of delicious collectibles to keep your morale and help refurbish Jon’s house with all kinds of surprising items.
Garfield: Escape From Monday will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 24 September 2026.
