Nintendo has announced Yoshi and The Mysterious Book for the Nintendo Switch 2. The game is set to release on May 21. It will be the first first-party Nintendo title to use Unreal Engine 5.
First-party Nintendo game uses Unreal Engine 5
Previous Nintendo first-party games such as Yoshi's Crafted World and Pikmin 4 used Unreal Engine 4. Early Switch 2 games lack advanced Unreal Engine 5 features like Lumen and Nanite. This raised concerns about whether the Switch 2's CPU could handle the engine. Optimizations made for Yoshi and The Mysterious Book could benefit other developers.
Yoshi and The Mysterious Book will launch globally on May 21.
According to GoNintendo, the game will run at steady performance on Nintendo Switch 2 using Unreal Engine 5. The optimizations are designed to deliver the consistent performance expected from Nintendo games.
