Sanrio Party Land is the first Sanrio Games title with a release date. The in-house game brand, launched in April 2026, announced on August 20 that it would exhibit at Tokyo Game Show 2026 at Makuhari Messe from September 17 to 21, and that attendees could try Party Land there. The party game is scheduled for October 29 for Nintendo Switch. At the show, the game appeared alongside the smartphone rhythm game Sanrio Kawaii Me Live!, planned for 2027, and wall-sized illustrations of the Knights and Lords from Fragaria Memories Color of Wishes.

On September 17, the event's first business day, Sanrio Games held a developer talk stage for Party Land. Katsuyoshi Tanabe, general manager of Sanrio's Game Business Division, and Toya Yoneda, senior manager in the same division's marketing section, spoke, with Hello Kitty and Pompompurin on stage. The game is priced at 6,380 yen and supports solo play, local multiplayer, and online play for up to four players. It features more than 145 Sanrio characters and over 45 original cooperative minigames set across five areas of Party Land.

The stated design goal is a game themed on Sanrio's corporate philosophy of everyone getting along, one that three generations of a family can play together. Tanabe said that goal led the team to the party game genre. Yoneda demonstrated three minigames live. Sanrio Games plans roughly 10 game releases over three years, and Party Land is the first title meant to reach players who have not engaged with Sanrio through merchandise, stores, or Puroland.
