Digital Pre-orders accepted through February 26, 2024. Check the Nintendo eShop in your region for details.
The company also released details on the game's Adventure Log, Notebook, and monsters that appear early on in the game.
Adventure Log and Notebook
The Adventure Log is a record of everything you encounter during your trek through the dungeon. It contains information on your progress, such as the furthest floor reached, how many turns you took, the types of monsters encountered on each floor, and other useful data. The Notebook categorizes information about Monsters, Items, Runes, Status Conditions, and Traps. This handy compilation allows you to easily review the traits and effects of whatever you've encountered prior, even when you're currently exploring the dungeon.
Monsters
Mamel
A mascot monster of the Shiren the Wanderer series. What it lacks in strength, it makes up for in cuteness.
Spearfish
An Aquatic-type monster akin to merfolk. Not only can they traverse both land and water, but they become stronger and recover lost health with every turn they spend in the water. The more powerful forms of this monster will strategically retreat to the water to regain their health if given the chance.
Octopling
An Aquatic-type monster that likes to pair up with other monsters. The more powerful forms of this monster get angry if their partner monster is defeated, and they will become stronger. Just like Spearfish, they also benefit from being in the water.
About Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island
After receiving a vision of a mysterious girl held captive by a terrible monster, Shiren and Koppa make their way to Serpentcoil Island—a distant isle rumored to be the lost stronghold of treasure-hoarding pirates.
To brave the many dangers that await them, Shiren and Koppa must traverse complex dungeons filled with hostile monsters, hidden traps, and useful items. All the gear and experience Shiren accumulates will be lost if he collapses during exploration, so beware of rushing in unprepared! Rescue the mysterious girl and uncover the mystery that clouds Serpentcoil Island.
The forthcoming release for Nintendo Switch marks the series' latest mainline entry to come to the West since Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate was released on PlayStation®Vita in 2016 and then on Nintendo Switch in 2020. While preserving the traditional gameplay, this installment introduces new elements and 3D graphics to create a fresh and exciting adventure.
About the Shiren the Wanderer Series
Shiren the Wanderer series of roguelike RPG games began with the 1995 release of Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer for the Super Famicom in Japan. Players venture into a "Mystery Dungeon" that changes each time they enter. To succeed, they need to rely on their wits, experience, and creative thinking to overcome monsters, avoid perilous traps, and conquer the dungeon. Players who run out of energy during their journey will lose all of their possessions including items, money, and gear, and must start again at level one. Players will experience a thrilling and tense adventure with unexpected events and risks that cannot be redone.
