Haunted Paws Expands at Gamescom 2026: Two Puppies, One Haunted Adventure
A Charming Co-Op Journey Brings More Gameplay and a Nintendo Switch Release
After Night Plane, the FGS Live from Gamescom 2026 showcase moved to something considerably more adorable — Haunted Paws, a cooperative adventure starring two brave puppies exploring a mysterious and supernatural world.
The latest trailer gave viewers another look at the game’s cooperative gameplay and also confirmed that Haunted Paws is coming to Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
Two Puppies, One Adventure
Haunted Paws is designed around two-player cooperative gameplay.
Players take control of a pair of puppies who must work together as they explore an unusual world filled with mysteries, dangers and supernatural encounters.
The contrast between the cute protagonists and the game’s haunted environments gives the adventure its distinctive personality.
Built Around Cooperation
The two puppies aren’t simply two versions of the same character.
Cooperation is fundamental to progressing through the adventure.
Players will need to explore together, overcome obstacles and coordinate their actions to progress through the game’s environments.
That makes Haunted Paws particularly suited to playing with a friend or family member.
A Haunting World
Despite its adorable protagonists, Haunted Paws isn’t simply a cosy adventure.
The game introduces supernatural elements and mysterious locations that give the journey a darker atmosphere.
The puppies are entering a world where something clearly isn’t right.
The contrast between the innocent characters and the haunted environment creates much of the game’s charm.
More Gameplay at Gamescom
The new trailer shown during FGS Live from Gamescom 2026 provided additional gameplay footage rather than serving as the game’s initial reveal.
The presentation focused on the cooperative experience and offered another look at how the two puppies interact with the world.
Coming to Nintendo Switch
One of the biggest pieces of news from the Gamescom presentation was confirmation that Haunted Paws will be released on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
The additional Nintendo platforms should make the game particularly attractive for players looking for a cooperative adventure that can be enjoyed locally or on the go.
Why Haunted Paws Is Worth Watching
Haunted Paws has a simple but effective combination:
cute puppies + co-op gameplay + exploration + supernatural mystery.
The result is a game that can appeal to players who enjoy cooperative adventures but don’t necessarily want an intense competitive experience.
The puppy protagonists also give the game an immediately recognisable identity.
