Klabautermann, kobold, and master of “Schabernack” (aka the chaos expert) Pumuckl is ready to set sail! Developer Quantumfrog and publisher THQ Nordic are excited to officially announce the release date for the new game Pumuckl and the Crown of the Pirate King: on March 5, 2026, the red-haired kobold embarks on a swashbuckling adventure on PC and Nintendo Switch, bringing plenty of mischief along for the ride.
After all, if there’s one thing Pumuckl does best, it’s going on adventures! In Pumuckl and the Crown of the Pirate King, players can look forward to a humorous journey filled with puzzles, exploration, and the kind of chaotic antics only a true goblin could cause. In the optional cooperative multiplayer mode, players take control of Captain Krimskrams and, of course, Pumuckl himself. The digital adaptation is based on the iconic character created by Ellis Kaut, using the original Pumuckl design by Barbara von Johnson.
The game is aimed at adventurers young and old alike – fans of the original stories as well as gamers looking for a charming, family-friendly experience. Quantumfrog blends modern gameplay mechanics with lovingly crafted level design and the unmistakable humor of one of Germany’s most beloved kobolds.
The brand-new trailer offers a first look at the colorful pirate world that awaits Pumuckl in his latest adventure.
