Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, known in Japan as Tomodachi Collection: Exciting Life, is a 2026 social simulation game developed by Nintendo EPD for the Nintendo Switch. It is the third entry in the Tomodachi Life series, succeeding Tomodachi Collection and Tomodachi Life. It revolves around user-customizable Mii characters who live on an island overseen by the player, who can give them items and influence their relationships. It introduces more customization options for character creation, including face paint, pronouns, and dating preferences. Production on Living the Dream began in 2017, shortly after development concluded on Miitomo. Director Ryutaro Takahashi and producer Yoshio Sakamoto became inspired to formulate a sequel to Tomodachi Life as they felt the Nintendo 3DS' technical limitations held back the game's scale. Creating avenues for user-generated content was done in an effort to promote near-infinite replayability. The Miis were redesigned to appear more cartoonish, while their robotic voices from previous installments were retained to maintain their distinct character.
