Going against the traditional horror games that invade consoles as Halloween approaches, Nintendo chooses humor and the absurd. Since October 29, Nintendo Switch 2 owners can download the demo for free SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide on the eShop.
The full game, scheduled for November 18, features SpongeBob and Patrick in a supernatural adventure, between sea ghosts and underwater chaos. This demo offers access to the first levels of the game, with all new character abilities. Enough to get a clear idea before the official release.
A Halloween that’s more fun than terrifying
Certainly, SpongeBob is not a horror film, but the atmosphere of the game fits perfectly with the season: specters, King Neptune, Flying Dutchman… a whole crazy and slightly frightening universe. The official synopsis of the game sets the tone:
“When the egos of the Flying Dutchman and King Neptune collide, the result is total underwater chaos: spectral chaos spreads across Bikini Bottom, and only two more or less courageous heroes can restore order. »
Players will explore iconic locations like Neptune’s Palace and Mount Bikini, battle bosses, and combine the skills of Bob and Patrick to save their world.
A Switch 2 exclusive, not for all players
Be careful though: this demo is only available on Nintendo Switch 2. Players with the first Switch will have to wait – no release on this console has been announced yet.
For others, simply go to the Nintendo eShop from the Switch 2 to start the download for free. The opportunity to discover this new original adventure, alone or with family, without thrills… but with a smile.
