KRAFTON JAPAN released the console version of the story-driven adventure game "My Little Puppy" on May 29, 2026. The download version is available now for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, with a physical release scheduled for June 25. Developed by Dreamotion, the game is inspired by a Korean proverb about a dog that died first coming to greet its owner in the afterlife. Players control Bongu, a Welsh Corgi living in Dog Heaven beyond the Rainbow Bridge, who embarks on a journey to welcome his owner who has just passed away. The game features dog-specific actions such as sniffing, barking, and jumping, and takes place across afterlife regions including deserts, snowy mountains, and beaches. Console version purchase bonuses include customization items like a Dinosaur Costume, Scarf, Glasses, and Bag. The first official licensed merchandise for the game, produced by Inforens, includes eight items such as tote bags and acrylic keychains featuring Bongu, with reservations opening May 29 and items shipping from early July 2026.
The game is priced at 2,889 yen on the PlayStation Store and 2,900 yen on the Nintendo eShop and Steam. The Nintendo Switch download version went live at 3:00 PM, while the PlayStation 5 version was available from 9:00 AM on May 29. The physical release is set for June 25.
Dreamotion representative Lee Jun-young said in a statement: "We are delighted to meet more users through the console version. We hope the story we deliver brings warm comfort and emotion."
The protagonist, named Bongu in the Japanese version and Pong in some materials, was once a stray dog.

The game includes dog-specific actions such as sniffing, barking, running, and jumping, and spans multiple genres including adventure, action, and racing across afterlife regions like deserts, snowy mountains, and beaches.
The first official licensed merchandise, produced by Inforens, includes eight items such as tote bags and acrylic keychains featuring Bongu. Reservations opened at 11:00 AM on May 29, with items shipping from early July 2026.
