Nintendo has announced that Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team will be available for the Switch Online service on August 9th. The announcement came via Nintendo of America’s Twitter/X account last week.

Players with a subscription at the Expansion Pass membership tier can play the Pokémon spin-off upon release.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team was released on the Game Boy Advance in North America in 2006. It acts as a roguelike spinoff of Spike Chunsoft’s Mystery Dungeon series, focusing on turn-based dungeon crawling where players take on the role of an amnesiac Pokémon who joins up with a rescue team. The player Pokémon takes risky jobs to save those in need, while slowly figuring out the mystery of who and what they mean both to themselves and the wider world around them.

This addition to Nintendo Switch Online follows in the footsteps of beloved RPG classics being added to its ever-growing library over the last calendar year, such as the Golden Sun duology, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, and The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past.
