The publisher DreadXP, along with developers John Szymanski and Evan Szymanski, has announced that the horror survival game My Friendly Neighborhood will be released on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 22, 2026. The game, which has been available on PC since July 18, 2023, via the Steam platform, and on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One since July 17, 2025, will now complete its platform catalog with the new console. In My Friendly Neighborhood, the player assumes the role of Gordon, a repairman called to investigate an unusual situation involving a children’s show called The Friendly Neighborhood. Once popular for its colorful puppet characters and educational themes, the program lost its appeal and its studio eventually shut down. Years later, the show unexpectedly returns to television, but something is off—the puppets, once friendly, now appear hostile or even involved in disturbing behavior. Gordon must enter the studio to uncover the truth and stop the unsettling broadcast. What sets My Friendly Neighborhood apart is its horror approach, which focuses more on suspense and surprise than on graphic violence. While the game does not include explicit depictions of death or dismemberment, the interactions with the puppets are described as intense and painful. The gameplay combines action and adventure elements within a survival horror framework, emphasizing exploration and puzzle-solving. The gameplay of My Friendly Neighborhood follows a non-linear structure, allowing players to explore a range of environments and frequently refer to a map to advance. One of the unique mechanics is the use of special weapons, such as the Rolodexer, which uses letters of the alphabet as ammunition. Combat and inventory management are handled in real time through a grid-based system designed to keep the interface clean. The game’s environments, including Ray’s workshop and cardboard corridors, provide diverse settings that support both exploration and puzzle-solving. The game features a group of puppets whose roles are not clearly defined, as they can switch between being allies and adversaries depending on the player’s choices. The puzzles, inspired by classic survival horror games, are woven into a narrative that traces the transformation of a once-familiar, family-friendly world into a hostile and dangerous space.
