The rerelease of Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon for the Nintendo Switch will offer lots of people a chance to experience this excellent sequel for the first time. The game uses mission-based progression to break your exploration of each Mansion into smaller and more manageable chunks, originally intended to make the game easier to play in bursts while on the go. The game has Luigi exploring five different Mansions as he reclaims the fragments of the titular "Dark Moon" and attempts to seal King Boo away again.

With five different Mansions to explore and 32 Boos to find, Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon offers a ton of content for fans of the series. We know that the release date for the Switch version is June 27th, 2024, but this guide will go a step further and discuss the likely launch times based on previous similar Nintendo launches.

When launching first-party games, Nintendo tends to release their games at 9 PM Pacific Time the night before the launch date. Luigi's Mansion 2 will likely follow this trend, meaning that it will become available at 9pm Pacific Time on June 26th 2024. This estimate is based on information from Nintendo's Support Page and previous first-party releases, so the exact release times may be slightly different. Below you can find a list of regional release times based on the same information:

  • 1 PM JST (Japan) - June 27th
  • 10 PM MT (Denver) - June 26th
  • 11 PM CT (Chicago) - June 26th
  • 12 AM ET (New York, Orlando) - June 27th
  • 6 AM CEST (Central Europe) - June 27th
  • 2 PM GMT (United Kingdom) - June 27th

With this information, it'll hopefully be easier to get the game installed as soon as possible and get a head start on tracking down those pesky Boos. With 5 Mansions to explore, 32 Boos to find, 34 missions to complete, and a multiplayer mode to enjoy, there's tons for you to sink your teeth into.
