After a two-year delay, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time appears to be on schedule for its planned April 2025 release date on the Nintendo Switch, though developer Level-5 notes suspiciously that it's been toying with "compatible platforms and new hardware."

That's why "there has been a slight delay in the release of major news," CEO Akihiro Hino says on Twitter, as translated by Japanese gaming site Gematsu. Hino doesn't expand on what new hardware he's been busy brawling with, though his announcement has a peculiar smell to it… it almost sounds like Fantasy Life i could maybe, possibly be an upcoming Switch 2 game.
