Lil Gator Game has revealed a new expansion for the game that will take you In The Dark, while it's also getting a Physical Edition

Indie game developer MegaWobble and publisher Playtonic revealed two new additions coming to Lil Gator Game in the form of new content and a physical edition. First off, the game is getting a new major expansion called In The Dark, bringing with it new challenges and places to explore. Meanwhile, Nintendo Switch and PS5 players will receive their own physical copies via Silver Lining Interactive, called the Gator of the Year Edition. Both of which will be released on the same day, February 12, 2026. We have more details on both for you here.

Lil Gator Game: In the Dark

Lil Gator's next journey is their largest yet! In the Dark adds a massive underground playground beneath the island, full of glowing caverns, mysterious tunnels, secret treasure, and tons of new friends to meet. Every corner holds a new surprise, whether you're following flickering lightsticks through winding tunnels or stumbling upon hidden side quests in forgotten caves. Of course, a new adventure means new characters, and not everyone is here to play nicely. A band of moody troublemakers are stirring up chaos underground, and it'll take Lil Gator's trademark charm and positivity to win them over. Expect heartfelt quests, silly antics, and plenty of "big feelings" along the way.

No Gator quest is complete without new toys. Players will discover new movement abilities and items like gymnastic ribbons, offering stylish double jumps and ground-slamming gadgets for dropping in on cardboard foes. Exploration feels snappier, more expressive, and even more fun. In the Dark serves as a warm, heartfelt finale to Lil Gator's story, a celebration of imagination, friendship, and the joy of playing pretend.
