Amber Isle seeing physical Switch release July 3rd, 2025
Ambertail Games and Team17 Digital launched the dino-centric shop management sim Amber Isle on Switch back in February, but that was just an eShop release. If you were hoping a physical version was on the way, you’re in luck. A standard physical version of Amber Isle is making its way to Switch, and it’s set to arrive on July 3rd, 2025. This physical release is priced at $35 and you can pre-order through Amazon.
Amber Isle welcomes players to set up shop in the eponymous Amber Isle, a friendly village fit to burst with an eclectic mix of prehistoric animals (Paleofolk), who are desperate for players to breathe new life into their community and bring their home back from the brink of fossilization. Meet dozens of dapper dinos and revel in reptile retail in this Switch release, for a wonderful time on your Amber Isle. Join us for the grand opening!
Being the new owner of a failing shop is no mean feat, and once players have created their own Paleo-persona, they’ll need to roll up their sleeves and get their claws dirty as they work to maintain the shop. Players will spend their days bartering with stubborn customers, stocking shelves with everything their paleo pals might need, befriending the locals, improving the village, and exploring the surrounding areas for new items to craft, all in an attempt to convince their fellow Paleofolk to return to Amber Isle permanently.
Amber Isle Key Features: Open Shop: Customize, name, and run your shop your way – use the profits to unlock new shop décor, walls, floors, and more, making the space uniquely yours.
Rebuild the Island: Rebuild, decorate, and unlock new areas to explore on Amber Isle, and with enough improvement, Paleofolk will start to take up residence on the island permanently.
Meet the Neighbors: Amber Isle is home to 48 different Paleofolk to befriend, including Ice Age mammals, Permian amphibians, marine life, invertebrates, and more.
Paleo-you: Express your penchant for the prehistoric and design your very own Paleofolk – change your clothes, crests, and colors, to create your perfect paleo-persona.
