Nintendo has announced its first Direct for 2026, focusing on Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. It airs on January 29th at 6 AM PST, according to Nintendo of America on Twitter. It will last about 20 minutes and should provide the most in-depth look at the social simulation title yet.
As the third entry in the series, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is about managing an island of Miis. They’ll socialize, arrange get-togethers and maybe even fight, to your amusement (or dismay, if you wanted everyone to get along). You’re once again free to customize Miis as you see fit with new options available.
While many facets of its predecessor remain, including spying on the dreams of your Miis, Living the Dream now offers more direct ways to steer their interactions. We’ll likely learn the full extent of this during the Direct, but it could make for some more nuanced chaos.
Of course, with Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream launching this year, Nintendo may also announce a release date. Unlike so many other first-party titles, it’s coming to Nintendo Switch, though it wouldn’t be surprising to see a Switch 2 Edition or upgrade. As always, stay tuned for more details when the Direct airs.
