Unveiling New Horizons: A World of Creativity and Adventure Awaits in Fantasy Life i!

Celebrating Global Achievement and Anticipating Physical Launch

The engaging virtual world of Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, launched in May, has achieved remarkable success, with Level-5 announcing that its total worldwide sales have now surpassed an impressive 1.2 million units. This significant milestone encompasses sales across all available platforms, including the Switch 2, original Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. Capitalizing on this strong performance, the Japanese developer has confirmed that a physical edition for the Switch 2 console will be available on August 7, 2025, in Japan. International listings suggest a simultaneous release in other regions, with pre-orders already active for this much-anticipated cartridge-based version.

Unleashing Creativity with an Innovative Photo Mode

Beyond the impressive sales figures and upcoming physical release, Level-5 is set to introduce a dynamic new Photo Mode to the game. This enhancement, expected to roll out in July, will empower players with versatile pose settings, enabling them to capture and share unique snapshots of their in-game islands, custom-designed homes, and various other creative endeavors. To further inspire player engagement, a contest will accompany the launch of this mode, inviting users to showcase their artistic flair and unique creations within the Fantasy Life i universe.

Future Expansions: A Roguelike Odyssey and Accessibility Enhancements

The journey for Fantasy Life i continues with plans for a substantial free downloadable content (DLC) expansion titled 'Update the World.' This major update promises to significantly transform the gameplay experience by introducing a roguelike, open-world adventure, adding new layers of exploration and challenge for players. For those who have yet to dive into this vibrant world, a paid upgrade path is available for a modest fee, allowing players on the original Switch to transition to the enhanced Switch 2 edition, ensuring broader accessibility and continued enjoyment of the game.
