Why it matters

The remake adds a Chup-led story mode while moving off the 3DS, whose NFC toy linkage the demo did not carry over, leaving the original's real-world Jara and Snack collection system an open question for the 2027 release.

The game is a remake of Snack World: TreJarers, the 2017 Nintendo 3DS title, and is set for release in 2027 on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam at a price not yet announced. A new mode called the Treasure Board, also described as the Trejara Board, lets players control the anime protagonist Chup and advance through stages laid out like a board game, defeating a mid-boss in each stage before a boss at the far end within a time limit. Weapons called Jara include swords, axes, bows, and spears, each with different range, speed, and Buster attributes that deal extra damage to specific enemy races. The demo ends with a choice between two bosses, Medusa and Dullahan. Players who try the booth receive an original bandana.

Three stages and a mid-boss fit into the Treasure Board demo. Clearing a stage yields a Jara as a reward, and branches on the board change which monsters and rewards appear. The demo's early stages let players level up fast, which makes detours tempting against the clock.

Weapon handling differs by type. The bow "Wood Shooter" attacks from range, while the axe "FL Pure Axe" hits hard per swing with long recovery. On PS5, the ZR button swaps Jara mid-stage, and the square button is a normal attack, triangle fires a Jara Waza, and a full gauge triggers Jara Break. Rolls use the circle button and cannot be input until an attack finishes, though a separate guard deploys quickly.

Medusa is a half-human, half-snake boss with snake hair. She swings her tail, slashes with claws, and fires orbs of darkness. Below half HP she blows the party away and petrifies companions with her snake eyes, so players hide behind pillars. Being turned to stone lasts until the player mashes the stick or takes a hit. Her technique is named "Ishinināru Senkō," and landing a hit makes her shout "Nani~!?"

Level-5 announced the remake on April 10, 2026, during its LEVEL5 VISION 2026 program. President Akihiro Hino described it as a remake "that could be called a new title." The original 3DS game launched in 2017, followed by Snack World: TreJarers Gold in 2020. No Snacks elements appeared in the demo range.
