Shochiku Releases Moomin: Midsummer Madness On Steam And Switch
The launch trailer for Moomin: Midsummer Madness is up on Shochiku Games’ official YouTube channel, and the game itself is now out.
Publisher Shochiku announced that the game was out today in a Steam post that went up at 7:22pm AEDT on Thursday 12 November. The trailer is embedded in that post, alongside details of a launch sale and a Steam-only bundle.
The game is developed by Crossbridge Game Studios. Its Steam listing sets the story just before Midsummer in Moominvalley, when “a sudden flood sets the Moomins adrift”.
From there, players join “Tove Jansson’s beloved Moominfamily and friends on an adventure of mirth and mischief aboard a mysterious floating theatre”, according to the same listing.
The release is not limited to PC. Shochiku’s post says the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 editions were also released on the same day.
On the Australian Steam store, the game is listed at A$28.50. A launch discount of 10% currently brings it to A$25.65, and the post says the discount applies to purchases made in the first two weeks after release.
Steam also carries an exclusive Welcome to Moominvalley Bundle. According to the post, it features three Moomin games from a collaboration between Hyper Games and Crossbridge, and buying the bundle saves 15%.
The post closes by asking players to share their impressions of Moominvalley through Steam reviews. It also thanks everyone who wishlisted the game, played the free demo or sent in words of support.
