Tanuki: Pon’s Summer is available now on PC and consoles, putting you on a BMX as an island’s newest mail-delivery tanuki. Developed by Denkiworks and published by Critical Reflex, the adventure costs $19.99 and is also available through Xbox Game Pass for PC and consoles.
The launch covers Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Steam and Xbox on PC. A launch trailer shows Pon’s postal duties, bike tricks, and summer activities.
Deliver Packages and Take On Over 100 BMX Challenges
Pon’s job takes him across a fictional Japanese island, delivering letters and parcels to its residents. Packages vary in size and shape, so packing and delivering everything is part of your work.
Your BMX also lets you take a less direct route. Ramps and rails let you string together tricks as you explore, with more than 100 BMX challenges available to test your skills.
Learning the island’s routes helps with deliveries, but you can also take time away from the post to meet residents and help with their problems.
Rebuild the Shrine Before the Great Tanuki Festival
Pon has another responsibility alongside keeping the mail moving: restoring the Great Tanuki Shrine for its summer festival.
You’ll spend money and rewards from deliveries and activities to rebuild, upgrade, and decorate the shrine. That connects your work around the island to preparations for the community celebration.
Those activities include making sushi, playing baseball, and stepping into a sumo ring. Spending time with the townsfolk also helps Pon form friendships beyond his delivery route.
You can customize his appearance with crossover hats inspired by games including Hollow Knight: Silksong, Peak and Shovel Knight.
Switch Purchases Include Access to Both Versions
Buying Tanuki: Pon’s Summer on Nintendo Switch grants access to the upgraded Nintendo Switch 2 version at no additional charge. The offer works in reverse, too: Switch 2 purchases also provide access to the original Switch version.
Tanuki: Pon’s Summer is now available on its announced PC and console platforms, with Game Pass access on PC and Xbox consoles.
