Summary
Bungie may have plans to bring its upcoming live-service MOBAProject Gummy Bearsto Nintendo Switch alongside PS5 and PC.Project Gummy Bearsis supposedly a colorful and family-friendly game, making it a viable title for Sony to gain a foothold among theSwitchuserbase.
Information aboutGummy Bearsfirst surfaced in 2023, with it being described as a new incubation project at Bungie with a more vibrant aesthetic than the studio’s previous games. AfterBungie’s July 2024 round of layoffs, though,Project Gummy Bearswas shifted to a brand-new team within the PlayStation Studios umbrella. Since then,Gummy Bearshas been further detailed as a colorful live-service team-based MOBA that draws inspiration from Nintendo’sSuper Smash Bros.series, and is apparently perceived as one of Bungie’s most fun and promising incubation projects.
Now, a new rumor has allegedly shed light onProject Gummy Bears' release plans. Word comes by way of a recent report from Spanish websiteVandal, which claims thatProject Gummy Bearswill launch on PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch day one. The report also alleged that Sony would formally revealProject Gummy Bearsat its recentFebruary State of Playand confirm a 2025 release for the game, but this evidently didn’t happen. Shaky credibility aside, there’s some precedence to suggest that a Switch version ofProject Gummy Bearscould be on the cards.
LEGO Horizon Adventures' Switch Release Might Have Set an Example that Bungie’s Project Gummy Bears Could Follow
The overall tone ofProject Gummy Bearsis purportedly vibrant and family-friendly, which would complement Nintendo’s usual first-party portfolio and possibly be quite appealing to Switch users, especiallySuper Smash Bros.fans. Sony has also shown a willingness to experiment with Switch releases, as the gaming giant releasedLEGO Horizon Adventureson the Nintendo platformin November 2024.LEGO Horizon Adventureswas a fun, colorful, and light-hearted game, and sinceProject Gummy Bearsappears to fit that description, it wouldn’t be too surprising if it was Sony’s next Switch release.
However, rumors like this should be approached with skepticism, especially those which have been partly debunked. While the prospect ofProject Gummy Bearsreleasing on Switch isn’t too unfathomable, it seems quite unlikely that the game will launch in 2025.Bungie started work onGummy Bearsless than two years ago and the project was then spun off to an entirely new studio last year. Therefore, it’s plausible to assume thatProject Gummy Bearsis still a ways off from its formal reveal, let alone release.
