Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf, the visually striking sequel from Wishfully Studios and publisher Thunderful, is set to launch on both Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2 on 5 March 2026. Revealed in a new release-date trailer, the game continues to impress with its cinematic presentation and refined puzzle-platforming gameplay.

Alongside the release announcement, the developers confirmed a free demo is on the way. PC, PlayStation and Xbox players will be able to try the demo from 11 February, while Switch and Switch 2 owners will receive it at a later, yet-to-be-announced date. Even so, the full release is now just a month away for Nintendo players.

The latest trailer puts the spotlight on the game’s lush, hand-painted visuals while showing expanded gameplay mechanics. Central to this is Mui, Lana’s small but versatile companion, whose abilities have evolved significantly. In Children of the Leaf, Mui can transform into different forms — including a fish and a flying insect — pilot robots, and channel electrical currents, adding fresh layers to environmental puzzles and traversal.

Narratively, the sequel builds on the original’s emotional core. As greed and power divide the tribes of their home planet, Lana and Mui must work together to confront the forces reshaping their world. Their journey across the planet Novo blends ancient mysteries with new threats, testing both the player’s problem-solving skills and the bond between the two protagonists.

The game promises a broader story, more challenging puzzles, and deeper companion mechanics, all enhanced by an orchestral soundtrack and richly detailed environments. With its predecessor praised in 2024 as a standout cinematic platformer, expectations are high that Planet of Lana II will deliver another memorable experience when it arrives next month on Switch and Switch 2.
