The Game Boy Color came out in 1998, and for many gamers, Nintendo’s Game Boy systems were a huge part of their early gaming experiences. The Game Boy Color, especially, is fondly remembered, and it’s still popular with retro game fans. Surprisingly, developers are still making new games for the system, and an upcoming RPG is a great example – it’s from the same team that revived the Backyard Baseball series.
Mega Cat Studios is an independent game developer known for its retro-style games. They’ve successfully revived classic franchises like Backyard Baseball and also create original games that capture a nostalgic feel. Their next project, a retro RPG called Gumball in Trick-or-Treat Land, developed in collaboration with Exquisite Laundry Pet, will be available on Steam and Game Boy Color starting February 19th, 2026.
New 8-Bit RPG Gumball in Trick-or-Treat Land Arrives in February 2026
Okay, so I just got to play Gumball in Trick-or-Treat Land, and it totally feels like a classic Game Boy Color RPG! It’s the first game from this indie team, Exquisite Laundry Pet, and it’s super charming. You play as a gumball – seriously! – trying to get back home through this Halloween world. It’s turn-based, so you’ll be battling monsters and learning cool magic moves. Plus, there are puzzles to figure out, and the graphics are awesome – really gives you that nostalgic 8-bit vibe. I’m really enjoying it so far!
Okay, so Mega Cat Studios just dropped a new trailer to announce when the game is officially coming out, and it looks amazing.
