Gameplay

Taking place on an open tropical island, [1] the player oversees a population of Miis which they can interact with. The player can also view interactions between the characters such as fights, and eavesdrop on their dreams as they could in the previous game. [2] Unlike in previous entries, the game allows players to directly control interactions between Miis rather than relying on random chance for Miis to develop their relationships. [3] Additionally, new options for the in-game Mii Maker allow customization for sections of the hair, along with many new options for facial features. Notably, this game marks the first appearance of ears on Mii characters. [4]

Release

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream was announced during a Nintendo Direct presentation on 27 March 2025. [5] It is scheduled to be released for the Nintendo Switch in the second quarter of 2026, thirteen years following the release of Tomodachi Life . [5] [6] The Nintendo Switch 2 will be backward compatible with the game. [7] [8]
