by

While today is known as Mario Day, Nintendo decided to highlight a beloved character from the Mario universe: Yoshi! This charming dinosaur debuted in Super Mario World on the SNES and has been a fan favorite ever since. Nintendo announced a new Yoshi game, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, last year, but we didn’t know when it would be released – until now! It’s coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo just released a new trailer for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, offering a sneak peek at the gameplay. The trailer also confirmed the game will be available on May 21st, and it’s a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive. Here’s a rundown of everything we know about the new Yoshi adventure so far.

Yoshi And The Mysterious Book Hits Nintendo Switch 2 This May

Nintendo announced a new Yoshi game during their September Direct last year, but it hasn’t gotten much attention yet, and many fans don’t realize it’s coming out in 2026. Now that we have a release date and trailer, hopefully more people will get excited! Called Yoshi in the Mysterious Book, this is the first new Yoshi platformer since Yoshi’s Crafted World in 2019, so fans have been eagerly awaiting its return.

The latest trailer for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book gives us a better look at what the game is all about. We get to see the beautiful storybook art style and how Yoshi uses the Mysterious Book to find and learn about new creatures. The trailer also highlights the game’s platforming, showing off features like floating with bubbles and powering up Yoshi by eating apples.

The new trailer not only introduces a new creature, but also gives us a clearer idea of how we’ll play and finish the Mysterious Book in the latest Yoshi game. For a detailed look at the new Yoshi adventure, watch the Yoshi and the Mysterious Book – Creature Discovery trailer below.

This new Yoshi game, like others in the series, features a charming and distinctive art style that makes its 2D platforming world feel vibrant. It looks incredibly cute, and based on previous games, it promises plenty of creative ways to explore.

The new game, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, will only be available on the Switch 2. The trailer shown today announced a release date of May 21st. Pre-orders are expected to start today, but aren’t currently visible on the U.S. eShop. Because of this, the game’s price is still unknown, but it will probably be similar to other Switch 2 exclusives like Donkey Kong Bananza.
