Gameplay

Ruffy and the Riverside is an open world action-adventure game where the player controls Ruffy, who has platforming abilities. Ruffy has a special ability to swap materials, which allows him to copy and paste the textures and physical properties of the game's environment. This can help Ruffy in many ways, such as copying ice and pasting it on the river to freeze it, which then can be crossed over by Ruffy.

Development and release

Ruffy and the Riverside was announced in February 2021, with targeting platforms being Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows. The developer later revealed the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S as additionally available systems. It was released on 26 June 2025.

The Switch version had performances issues at launch. The October 2025 update improved the frame rate on both systems, hitting 60 frames per second on Switch 2.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 2025 video game. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q125217707. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025 and 2021.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
