Originally launched for PC and PS4 in 2018, Chibig's Deiland didn't get huge attention at the time. Offering us an adventure-RPG with sandbox elements, it reviewed somewhat positively and now, they've just confirmed Deiland: Pocket Planet Edition will launch digitally for Switch on April 15th.
Following a successful Kickstarter campaign last October, Deiland greatly exceeded the €10,000 funding goal, finishing at €75,788. Offering exclusive new content, Chibig outlined what to expect in this press statement:
Deiland: Pocket Planet Edition is a relaxing farming adventure where you will have to take care of your tiny planet. Farm, craft, and fight monsters to make your home a special place and help others with their quest. Discover the story of Arco in this single-player experience; a tale about growing up, helping others, and revealing the secrets that lie on the heart of your planet.
This reimagination of Deiland, Chibig’s first game for PS4 and PC, includes unique content for the Nintendo Switch console, with new looks, new music, new playability, and exclusive DLC content. On top of all of this, this new edition includes a new “seasons” system.
Key Features:
* Customize your planet with trees, plants, crops, flowers, and structures, and take care of your farm animals.
* Discover how the whole planet changes through Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each crop will only be available in certain seasons.
* Over 12 characters to meet and befriend.
* Day and night cycle that has an effect on the world with natural elements like meteor showers, storms, shooting stars, aurora borealis, or hurricane winds.
* More than 100 quests to uncover the secrets that the heart of your planet holds.
* Cute graphics and a relaxing soundtrack will allow you to ease up the bustling daily routine and relax while you play.
* Same shared universe as Summer in Mara, so players from that game will see familiar characters and locations.
Deiland: Pocket Planet Edition pre-orders will go live on April 1st, and Chibig has also confirmed a 15% pre-order discount, bringing this down to $16.99 / €16.99. That'll revert back to full price on April 21st, for $19.99 / €19.99 .

All these games riffing off Bokujou Monogatari.
I recall hearing of this game on PC and being curious about it, nice to see it for Switch!
this is the first planet on super mario galaxy
@Auenegheps that was my first thought, super farmio galaxy. or they're really putting the "moon" into "harvest moon"
@stinky_t but this means that the earth is not flat
@Auenegheps No way !!! It`s not ?
@premko1 I found it out today
@Auenegheps tHe EaRtH iS nOt FlAt hahaha does anyone actually believe in the earth?
@Auenegheps I still don`t believe it. And Mario Galaxy and this game proofs nothing. Stardew Valley and Breath Of The Wild surroundings are not round !!!
There are just too many copies of the same formula now.
Fish, Farm, Mine, Chop Trees, Sleep, Repeat.
Can anyone think of a new mechanic to add to the mix? No-one seems brave enough to try something new.
Whoever does I think will reap the rewards and stand out.
@stinky_t i only believe in athena
@premko1 but animal crossing has round earth too. maybe nintendo think so
Deiland on Nintendo Switch ?! 😲😲😲
Wow, i thought it will be PS4 Only. 😀
@Auenegheps Thats just one series of games, not convincing at all. Water in Wave Race is flat, Mario Kart tiil 8 has ( almost ) flat levels.
@Auenegheps Hell, whole Mode 7 thing in flat.
@premko1 maybe you're right. Earth is flat at the end
@Auenegheps You are convinced , now time for the others.
reminds me of the little prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
@stinky_t nope. Never have, never will.
@KateGray I hope you'll be giving this the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons treatment once it's reviewable? Curious to know how it slots into the farming sim genre!
@bluetofu same here. It must have been one of the inspirations
