I was strolling social media and saw a game which I thought was rather charming from the gameplay, but it vanished before I got to investigate further since I was busy at my 9-to-5 job on break when it appeared. However, as fate would have it, I had a Press Release from them sitting within my inbox!
UNDER THE ISLAND releases today for PC, Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, and Xbox. Below you’ll find information in the form of their Press Release, trailer, and screenshots!
Retro-and-anime culture inspired indie publisher Top Hat Studios, Inc., in conjunction with developer Slime King Games, are proud to launch classic ’90s style action-adventure RPG UNDER THE ISLAND today – February 17th 2026. Featuring art by former art director of Daedalic Entertainment Simone Grünewald, Under The Island is available for PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, and the Xbox family.
AboutSet on the mysterious Seashell Island, the world of Under The Island ranges from the chilly ice caps of Bran Bran Peak (where somehow they mine cereal), to tropical villages and dusty deserts full of sentient, walking pots (who naturally hate you). Each distinct region holds its own discoveries, foes, and challenges paired alongside classic action-RPG gameplay – but with an extra emphasis on player-driven exploration. Starting out with a trusty hockey stick to bash enemies with, your power & abilities grow with new treasures found in dungeons, minigames and off the beaten path – or sometimes traded for with the locals… or “negotiated” for with the island’s fauna.
In Under The Island, you’ll chart your own path and discover all the secrets this world has to offer, whether it’s inside the monumental wonders of the island, or hidden away in a secret nook and cranny. Use all the tools at your disposal, such as a shovel, a trumpet, and a… bird to create new paths, meet other adventurers, and find treasure.
