Phoenixx and Bandai Namco Studio confirmed the release date for the Nintendo Switch version of Doronko Wanko, which involves a full version of the game with additional dogs to use. The exact date the dirty dog action game will be available on the popular console will be July 24, 2025.
As a reminder, Doronko Wanko was made as one of the training projects for Bandai Namco’s new recruits in 2023. This game lets players control a dog, which aims to cause as much mess as possible in its owner’s house.
The initial PC release has been available for free since March 2024, but it only features the Pomeranian. The upcoming Nintendo Switch release of Doronko Wanko will be a paid game that costs 500 yen (~$3.45), but it will add five more playable dogs: Shiba Inu, Corgi, Jack Russell Terrier, Toy Poodle, and Bulldog. These dogs will also be available for the PC version via a DLC pack at the same price tag.
As a side note, Bandai Namco Studio had previously announced in December 2024 that the Switch release and the DLC set for PC would be available in Spring 2025. The studio ended up missing the promised window, since July 24, 2025, falls in the Summer season instead. However, it compensated for the delay by adding five new dogs instead of just three.
Doronko Wanko will be available as a paid game for Nintendo Switch at 500 yen on July 24, 2025. The game is also readily available for free on PC via Steam.
