Whitethorn Games and Millionhare Studios set Wish Upon a Llama for December 9, 2026

Whitethorn Games and Millionhare Studios announced that Wish Upon a Llama is launching on December 9, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. The PC release will be sold through Steam and Epic Games Store.

Whitethorn Games and Millionhare Studios confirmed the Nintendo Switch date. The version arrives on December 9, 2026. Nintendo Everything reported on November 9, 2026 that the game will be sold digitally. IGN published an official trailer on November 9, 2026, showing the game’s colorful world, characters, and gameplay.

Whitethorn Games and Millionhare Studios describe Wish Upon a Llama as a cozy life simulation RPG in which the player becomes Llama Town’s new rancher. Animals and people once shared Llama Town in harmony before the bond faded. The player restores the connection between residents and animals by bringing up new generations of companions and running the adoption center.

Players can find 50+ unique animal breeds, and offspring inherit characteristics from both parents so careful breeding is essential. The studios also say players will raise generations of creatures such as bunnies, capybaras, and horses. Every creature features unique colors and patterns, along with distinct personalities and inherited genetic traits. The companion list covers Llama, Rabbit, Goose, Capybara, Pig, Sheep, Fish, and Frog, alongside four unnamed entries marked with question marks.

Bonding options include countryside walks, fetch, communication, bathing, thoughtful gifts, and mini games such as dancing. Players can travel through maze-like forests, tropical beaches, and serene fields to find stray animals and make friends with them. The rancher runs Llama Town’s adoption center by choosing animals ready for adoption, filling residents’ personal adoption requests, and keeping the center welcoming.

Adopted animals stay visible around town with their new families after placement. Helping with adoptions raises funds and unlocks infrastructure and locations such as vacation islands, forests, and beaches. The studios call the adoption center a way to bring Llama Town’s community back together through individual friendships.

The townsfolk include a bookish doctor, a rugged handyman, a self-taught physicist, and an aspiring designer, and players can befriend them or pursue romance. Townsfolk connect with different companions based on personalities and traits, so the right adoption match matters. The game includes 21 dateable characters, including Lily, Lorrie, Jason, Colin, Daisy, Jake, Judy, Declan, Scott, Prisha, Shea, Sammy, Violet, Henry, and Taralynn, while six names remain withheld.

Players can challenge friends to activities such as jump rope, town cleaning, trivia games, and spelling bees. Players can also start a family and guide children as they grow up, attend school, and make friends, with grandparents nearby to help. Players can decorate their home and surrounding land to create a unique dream home.
