Microids and OSome Studio have shared a reveal trailer for Garfield: Escape From Monday on Nintendo Switch, to coincide with National Garfield Day.
In this nightmarish, veggie-filled 3D platformer, you must wake lasagna-loving cat up from his nightmare by defeating enemies and reactivating his taste buds by eating “a gigantic deal of lasagnas.”
“For Garfield, spending most of his time sleeping is part of the routine. But spiralling into a bizarre nightmare full of vegetables, sugar-free candies, and other unimaginable horrors, even the world’s laziest cat knows something is wrong!” the publisher outlines in a press release.
“After Jon fed him spinach lasagna inspired by Chef Monday’s recipe, Garfield falls into a deep sleep… in order for Garfield to wake up from the nightmare and reactivate his taste buds, he must embark on a deliciously chaotic adventure, where players will explore worlds packed with enemies, challenges, and lasagna.
“Thankfully, Garfield can rely on Jon and his friends Odie, Arlene and Pookie, as well as a collection of special costumes, including turkey, surfer and cowboy, each with its own unique skill, to overcome the dangers lurking within Garfield’s dreams.”
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.
