2026
Dark Auction - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
Release date: June 10, 2026
Hotel Dusk: Room 215 was one of my favorite DS games back in the day, so I'm very excited to check out Rika Suzuki's latest credit in the visual novel Dark Auction. Set in 1981 Europe, the game follows a young man who sets out to find his missing father. However, after venturing to the castle that his father visited, he ends up trapped and agrees to take part in the auction himself. Exciting. The game did release earlier on PC, but this Switch 2 edition comes with improved resolution and frame rates.
To a T
Release date: June 11, 2026
The narrative adventure To a T comes from the creator behind Katamari Damacy is offically landing on Switch after originally releasing last year. Following the story of a teenager whose body is the shape of a t, the game takes place over the course of several days in an episodic format. You can get stuck into various minigames and explore the seaside town setting as you explore some meaningful themes through a playful lens - which our To a T review digs into if you're curious to learn more.

From Devolver Digital, this game has astronauts trying to survive in a quirky lo-poly world full of colorful biomes and vibrant wildlife, from hulking monsters to scuttling carrots. This seems to be another multiplayer title that'll make full use of Nintendo's latest community features like GameChat.
Denshattack!
Release date: June 17, 2026
Denshattack promises to draw you into a dystopian Japan in a new platforming, fast-paced adventure bursting with color. While grinding and flipping are usually tricks performed on a skateboard, you'll instead be performing these slick moves to rack up points and take on boss battles with a customizable train. And rather than ramps, you can expect to speed with style across railway tracks, oceans, and even through a volcano.
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales
Release date: June 18, 2026

Soon, you'll be able to join Dante and Nero in Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition. First released in 2019, the latest DMC entry delivers slick, over-the-top hack-and-slash action as you fend off a demon invasion. Made in Capcom's in-house proprietary RE engine, the showy boss battles and excellent soundtrack make this one very memorable action game, and if you've yet to try it out, it could be worth adding to your Switch 2 library.
Star Fox
Release date: June 25, 2026
A surprise Nintendo Direct dropped in May confirming we're set to see the arrival of Star Fox exclusively for Switch 2.

After months of waiting the next chapter in Deltarune is one the way friends! That's right Deltarune Chapter 5 is now scheduled to arrive later this month and if you've already bought the game you won't need to spend any extra cash to get it either. We are still expecting three more chapters in the future as well before the game is fully complete. But hey, at least we're one step closer to getting our hands on the complete Deltarune package.
Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains
Release date: June 30, 2026
OK, so Monopoly may seem pretty simple, but I will say that I was pretty impressed by how many tweaks had been made to the classic board game in the upcoming title, Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains. Playing against your friends and family, you'll have to form a team of iconic Star Wars characters who all have their own unique abilities that you can utilize on the board. It's a fun twist with a lot of easter eggs for movie fans by the looks of it.

Moonlight Peaks
Release date: July 7, 2026
As a chronic cozy gamer, Moonlight Peaks has been on my wish list for over a year now, so I'm very pleased to see that it finally has a release date and will also be heading to the Switch 2 on July 7. Think Stardew Valley but with a supernatural twist for this one, as you'll be playing a vampire farmer in a town filled with other supernatural beings such as mermaids and werewolves. Besides farming, you'll also be able to brew spells and even fall in love.

D-topia
Release date: July 14, 2026
I love a good puzzle game to play on handheld mode, and D-topia has me very intrigued. In this one, you play as the newest residential Facilitator at D-topia, a new sci-fi setting where happiness is carefully managed by artificial intelligence. You'll need to solve residents' issues via logic-based puzzles, and also experience a story where all your choices matter. The game looks relaxing but eerie at the same time.

Fitness Boxing 3: Your Personal Trainer – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
Release date: July 16, 2026
Fitness Boxing has become a Switch staple since it first released in 2018, so it makes sense that we'd be getting a sparkly new Switch 2 edition for the latest entry. Now, for reference, this isn't a new game per-say. Fitness Boxing 3: Your Personal Trainer came out for the Switch back in 2024. This is simply a new Switch 2 Edition, and players that have the game already can buy an upgrade pack if they want to check it out as well. The Switch 2 edition comes with Camera Play, a new "Boost Up Mode", and enhanced graphics.

Truxton Extreme
Release date: July 30, 2026
If you love old school shooters, than chanaces are you are going to love the upcoming game, Truxton Extreme. Basically, in this one, you'll need to blast down hordes of alien invaders and from clips that I've seen so far, the way you do that gives off strong '80s retro sci-fi vibes. I mean, that makes sense, given the fact that Truxton has been around since 1988, but it's always nice to see modern titles staying true to original aesthetics and vibes.
Big Walk
Release date: August 4, 2026
If you loved Peak, then chances are you'll want to put Big Walk on your radar. You and a group of friends will set out on a…well…big walk. Explore environmental puzzles, find some fun gadgets or simply just hang out with each other. Cross platform play has also been confirmed which is always welcomed news as well. I'll be picking this one up for sure.
Lies of P: Complete Edition
Release date: August 6, 2026
Are you a real boy? At long last, one of the best Soulslike games is coming to the Switch 2 this year. Lies of P: Complete Edition collects the base game and the Overture DLC for the ultimate twisted fairytale, as puppet boy P fights his way through the corrupted Belle Epoque city of Krat. It's important to note that the digital version launches on August 6, while physical edition hopefuls will need to wait for October 2.

One of the most exciting announcements from the February State of Play showcase was that we are getting a new Metal Gear Solid Collection.

Brigandine: Abyss is an upcoming strategy RPG that is also the latest entry in a very established series (RPG fans are eating well this year).

You'll pick one of these leaders and command your units to reshape the world.
Elden Ring – Tarnished Edition
Release date: August 28, 2026
Elden Ring is heading to the Switch 2, so rejoice all you Souls sickos. This is one of the big shock announcements to come out of the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, and honestly, we're pretty pleased to hear that it's going to be added to Nintendo's catalogue. This one was pushed back from its intended 2025 release window to implement "performance adjustments", according to the developer. Thankfully, we now know that it will be with us in late August.
Orbitals
Release date: September 3, 2026
Orbitals is a new Switch 2 exclusive co-op adventure that's brought to life in a retro anime-style world. In it, you can play as either Maki or Omura as you venture out into space and work together to try and save your station home, which is said to be trapped within a supernatural cosmic storm. It's currently slated to arrive this summer, but we're still waiting on a concrete release date.

Iron Gate AB's Viking survival game Valheim is coming to the Switch 2 this year.

Release date: September 15, 2026
Runescape: Dragonwilds is officially coming to the Switch 2. Dive into the mysteries of Ashen Fall in this upcoming RPG. You'll need to survive the wilds, fight dragons, craft gear and traverse through a fantasy world in this one. I honestly didnt expect to see this land on Nintendo's new console, so it was a very welcomed surprise to see it announced during the June Direct. Stay tuned for more updates.
Another Eden Begins
Release date: September 16, 2026
If you are a fan of playing the best turn-based RPGs on your Switch 2, you'll want to pay attention to the upcoming game, Another Eden Begins. With a story from Masato Kato (who has worked on the likes of Chrono Trigger and Heroes of Mana), you'll play as Aldo, who is on a mission to rescue his sister from the Beast King, only to find himself stuck in some time-travelling antics. There are over 10 endings to discover here, and from what I've seen so far, the combat looks pretty fun too.
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave
Release date: September 17, 2026
Fire Emblem is officially returning with the reveal of Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave. Officially revealed during the September Nintendo Direct 2025, the trailer gave us glimpses of a whole new roster of characters, in what is described as an intertwining story. With turned-based combat on display, and a new leading hero to meet, it also shows off an older Sothis who appeared prominently in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. We finally have a release date following a more recent Nintendo Direct in June 2026, so get ready for September to answer all your burning questions!
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter
Release date: September 17, 2026
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter blew us away when it first released. In fact, our Games Editor said that it was a masterclass in remakes. So we have high expectations for Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter, the next chapter in the story. Here, Estelle and Joshua have finally become senior bracers; however, they end up separated, and Estelle goes on a quest to reunite with him. Your clear data from the first game can carry over into this one, so I recommend playing through that first before you consider picking Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter up. These are great JRPGs, though, so you won't regret diving in.
Lego Batman: The Legacy of the Dark Knight
Release date: September 18, 2026
We love a new Lego game, so we were over the moon to see that we are getting a new DC outing with the iconic DC trilogy, Christopher Nolan's Batman movies getting the block treatment. In this upcoming Switch 2 game, you'll be able to relive all the movies in the trilogy, from Bruce Wayne's first outing to his final hurrah with Bane. There are tons of easter eggs, humour, and for the first time…difficultly modes. Gotham will also be an open-world map, so yeah, we are sold.

It's also been confirmed that it won't carry over saves from the Switch 1 version.
Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea
Release date: September 24, 2026
Not to be confused with Story of Seasons (which is essentially the OG Harvest Moon, before some licensing naming issues), Harvest Moon is Natsume Inc's spin-off series of the original Harvest Moon games, and now we are getting a Switch 2 debut. Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea is a fresh farming and adventure game that will see players exploring the vast lands of Teradea after a mysterious mist leads to beasts and natural disasters threatening villages. While Harvest Moon's last entry wasn't super well received, I have high hopes for this one and love the premise. I'll keep you posted as more news heads my way!

Release date: September 25, 2026
Onimusha: Way of the Sword has been revealed to be heading to the Switch 2 this year during the June 2026 Nintendo Direct. In this ARPG you play as a warrior tasked with fighting monsters pouring out from the underworld - creatures known as Genma - guided by a very strange glowing gauntlet worn by the hero. It's stylish, combat-driven, and pre-orders are now live as well!
Minecraft Dungeons 2
Release date: September 29, 2026
During the Minecraft Live 2026 event Mojang revealed Minecraft Dungeons 2, a sequel to the dungeon crawler-inspired 2021 action-adventure set in the blocky universe.

Consider us intrigued.

Not unlike the first Dragon's Dogma, the Arisen version will introduce new locations and enemies, with a region known as Norgan set to be introduced as this version seems to combine both the revamped Dark Arisen version of the game and the latest Dragon's Dogma 2 that launched on PC and other consoles a few years ago.
Tales of Eternia Remastered
Release date: October 16, 2026
Calling all JRPG fans, Tales of Eternia is getting a shiny new remaster and it'll be heading to the Switch 2 this October.

It's a classic and very much worth your time, folks.

As the first Final Fantasy game in HD 2D, Final Fantasy Resonance is a new turn-based RPG that takes place in the world of Lapis, which has prospered thanks to the power of crystals.

You'll even be able to call on iconic FF characters, including the likes of Cloud, to help you take down enemies.
Nintendo Switch Sports Resort
Release date: October 22, 2026
I loved Wii Sports resort back in the day, so needless to say, I'm very excited about Nintendo Switch Sports Resort coming our way this October. Using motion controls you'll have to compete in 12 sports of your choice and of course try to come out on top. From table tennis from archery to even thumb wrestling, there are a ton of activities to keep you busy and enough variety in each to keep you from getting bored. I'm personally looking forward to playing this at the next family function and starting a few fights.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4
Release date: October 23, 2026
Modern Warfare 4 is the latest entry in the Call of Duty series, and developer Infinity Ward has confirmed it will be officially launching on Switch 2. Made for the latest hardware and said to be the most advanced Modern Warfare game yet, the core campaign is set to take place amid an escalating conflict in the Korean Peninsula, which will draw you into high-stakes missions across various locations. Multiplayer maps and the DMZ extraction mode will also be returning.
One Piece: Grand Gourmet
Release date: October 23, 2026
I love the anime One Piece so the promise to play as one of the Straw Hats immediately caught my eye when One Piece: Grand Gourmet was announced during the June Nintendo Direct. In this one you play as Sanji running your own restaurant and using Devil Fruits to help you out. 400 One piece characters and mouse controls have been confirmed. If you love anime games, be sure to add this to your wishlist.
ANOMALITH
Release date: October 28, 2026
The Switch 2 has a surprisingly good selection of survival horror, and ANOMALITH is looking to add to that come October. Just in time for Halloween, you'll get to play as Reona, a young girl who has to face monstrous anomalies scattered through a dystopian version of Japan in search of her lost best friend. This is a shooter, so I'm keen to see how well the Switch 2 controls perform here. Judging from past outings like Cyberpunk, I'm guessing everything will run like a dream, but I'll keep you posted as more details head our way.
Crymelight
Release date: November 5, 2026
Crymelight is a very stylish-looking upcoming roguelike that will give us a neat little twist on Alice in Wonderland once it releases in November. Here you take on the role of Alice, who has to deal with and survive encounters with the queen's royal army. In each run, you'll get to pick five poker cards that offer cool abilities and combinations that you can use to your advantage. From the trailers that I've seen so far, this does seem like it will be a great choice for handheld gamers.
Metaphor: ReFantazio
Release date: November 12, 2026
Metaphor: ReFantazio was one of the best RPGs released in 2024 and honestly I can't wait to get my hands on it. In typical Atlus fashion you'll have to engage in some turn based combat alongside a deep story that also incorporates social-sim elements. Unlike the best Persona games (which are set in modern day japan) this game instead takes place in United Kingdom of Euchronia and you'll have to try to help fight for the throne after the king is assassinated. This is an amazing game, and definitely a must-play for RPG fans.
Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World
Release date: December 3, 2026

You can also against players online and against an Ai if you want a solo experience. Sounds like the perfect way to spend your time while we wait for Jujutsu Kaisen season 4 to wrap up.
Kyoto Xanadu
Release date: TBC 2026
Kyoto Xanadu is giving real Persona vibes and we're here for it. Taking place in an alternate reality where Kyoto is instead the capital of Japan, you play as a student called Rei who has to fight against monsters and uncover mysteries in a curious labyrinth in the city.

Professor Layton and the New World of Steam
Release date: TBC 2026
The last we heard of Professor Layton and the New World of Steam was in 2023 during a Nintendo Direct. We've seen a brief clip of the new game, so we know that it is coming, and it would make perfect sense to see it on the Switch 2. While not much is known about the title, we do know that we're set to experience a fresh story filled with puzzles in the new setting of Steam Bison, which is home to advanced steam engines. Stay tuned for more updates!
Rover's Tale
Release date: TBC 2026
Imagine Wall-E, but playable on your new Nintendo handheld. Rover's Tale (formerly known as Good Boy) is a beautiful upcoming Switch 2 game that's been described by publisher Team 17 as a "Petroidvania". In it, you'll be taking control of a space rover with the soul of a dog implanted in it, travelling a lush wilderness and coming across all sorts of strange and wonderful sights. The description alone makes me feel a little teary-eyed and the style of the game looks gorgeous!

Release date: TBC 2026
Cozy gamers rejoice because news broke in December 2025 that Starsand Island will be heading to the Switch 2. The game is coming out on February 1 on other platforms, and currently, we don't have a firm Switch 2 release just yet. However, we do know that the upcoming anime-looking farming sim Switch 2 Edition will have mouse controls and support GameChat for online play. If you love relaxing titles, then this one is definitely a title to keep on your radar.
Stellar Blade
Release date: TBC 2026
Stellar Blade is widley popular so it makes sense that we'd be getting a Switch 2 port. In this sci-fi hack-n-slash game it's up to you to save humanity from extinction. In this one you'll play as EVE on her mission to essentially save the day and destory all the foes in her way. I will say that this game is notorious for it's female character designs, so keep that in mind before you pick this one up.
The Duskbloods
Release date: TBC 2026
The Duskbloods is the latest exciting new title for us to look forward to from FromSoftware. While it isn't a Bloodborne sequel, it sure looks like a spiritual successor thanks to its gothy aesthetic and dark Victorian setting. The game is a PvPvE title with online multiplayer front and center in its gameplay, and it will be a Switch 2 exclusive.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered

Turok: Origins
Release date: TBC 2026
The Turok franchise has been around for a long time, but it's been years since we got a new game, until now. First announced back in 2024, Turok: Origins is on its way this year and was also recently confirmed to be heading to the Switch 2. In this upcoming third-person shooter, you play as Turok warriors who have to deal with hungry dinosaurs and an alien threat that basically wants to wipe out all humans. From the brief clips I've seen, the combat in this game does look very fun, and the kills also look very gory (something I appreciate). Hopefully, we get a full release date soon!

However, we do know that we can expect to see a launch sometime in 2026 after it was recently delayed.
Woodo
Release date: TBC 2026
Woodo from developer Tiny Monks Tales is a delightful-looking cozy puzzle adventure that sees you piece together and assemble wooden scenes that's are about to life in 3D dioramas. As the put together each scene, it will start to color and come to life like a 3D coloring book. It looks utterly charming.

If you are like me then the idea of 3D pixel wuxia RPG Wandering Sword sounds like a dream.

There's turn based combat, lots of skill trees to play with, and a great story as well.

And following the likes of Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, it'll be launching on Switch 2 in 2027.

Mega Man: Dual Override
Release date: TBC 2027
Buckle up because in 2027, we are getting a brand new Mega Man game! Mega Man: Dual Override will follow a similar formula to previous entries, from the looks of it so far. That means expect 2D action platforming and facing off against Dr Wily once again. We don't have a set release date just yet, but I'm keeping an eye out for any news on this one.
Muramasa: The Revenant Blades
Release date: TBC 2027
Muramasa: Revenant Blades is set to bring back the classic 2D action RPG with new English voice acting, new game mode features, and enhanced visuals.

Ninjala 2: The Uncharted Planet
Release date: TBC 2027
In this action adventure game you'll be exploring a cartoony and chaotic world to fight some colorful monsters. This is one I'd especially recommend players looking for multiplayer games to keep track of. Ninjala 2 has up to 4-player co-op and looks snappy and fun enough to keep any kind of gamer's attention.
Pokemon Winds and Waves
Release date: TBC 2027
Pokemon Gen 10 is officially on the way and it's called Pokemon Winds and Waves. Shown during the recent Pokemon Presents showcase, the next creature collector outings will be taking us to an island/jungle region, that looks a lot like Southeast Asia if you ask me. The trailer didn't give many details away about new Pokemon adventures, but we do know what our starters will be, and it also looks like there will be high-tech island hubs to interact with.
Pikuniku 2
Release date: TBC 2027
Good news friends, Pikuniku 2 is heading to the Switch 2 sometime in 2027 and it's in 3D now (shocking, I know). In this sequel Pikuniku 2 and his friends get separated and essentially scattered around the archipelago. It'll be up to you to find them all and help them get home. It sounds and looks very cute so far, so hopefully this one can live up to the success and love that the first game managed to get.
Resident Evil Code Veronica
Release date: TBC 2027
After a lot of speculation, Resident Evil Code Veronica is officially getting a remake, and better yet, it'll be coming to Nintendo's console. The survival horror spin-off is considered to be one of the most memorable entries in the Resident Evil series, with Claire Redfield taking center stage. With a trailer debuting at Summer Game Fest Live 2026, Resi fans are in for a treat.
Xenoblade Genesis
Release date: TBC 2027
Xenoblade Genesis took me by complete surprise when I first saw it at June's Nintendo Direct. The lush fantasy JRPG series' latest entry promises a land where "the vengeance of a fallen god has yet to be fulfilled", and ominous as that sounds, the experience itself looks breathtaking – think flying creatures, magic, and the slick anime art style players know and love, all coming exclusively to the Switch 2 in 2027.
TBC
Alien Isolation 2
Release date: TBC
Creative Assembly's highly anticipated follow-up to its terrifying horror game is officially coming to Switch 2. With a look at the sequel during Summer Game Fest Live 2026, it's set to take us to a colony world which will force you into a desperate fight for survival. With shots of outdoor scenes, it looks set to go bigger this time around, and we're sure the Xenomorphs will be just as unsettling to deal with.
Borderlands 4
Release date: TBC
Borderlands 4 landed on other platforms back in September 2025, and while the Switch 2 release was originally slated to come some weeks later in October, Gearbox has since delayed the launch. A statement expressed that the team "are committed to ensuring we deliver the best possible experience to our fans, and the game needs additional development and polish time to do that". No new release date has been given as of yet.
Cassette Beasts 2002
Release date: TBC
Cassette Beasts 2002 is a sequel to the 2023 turn-based creature collector RPG. As a retro-inspired adventure, the new game takes place in a world that draws from early '90's London. Taking cues from Pokemon, you encounter and record different beasts and see them transform in battle. With companions to meet and quests to complete, 2002 promises to be a great entry point (so don't worry if you didn't get around to Cassette Beasts).

The expansion that's included also gives you new stories for seven officers so you truly are getting your money's worth here if you decide to pick this game up.
Enter The Gungeon 2
Release date: TBC
This sequel to Dodge Roll's impressive roguelike brings a new 3D art style that has plenty of chaotic physics to sell the frantic energy that was one of our favorite aspects of the original. Bullets, for example, truly go flying. Creative director Dave Crooks says "fan favorite elements will return" but that it's still in development with more news to come.
Gen Atlas
Release date: TBC
A new single-player action-adventure game is coming to us from the same creator behind Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian, and ICO. First revealed at Summer Game Fest Live 2026, it's set to bring you to a mysterious abandoned planet where you'll come across curious, colossal structures, remnants, and what appears to be robotic machines. We're still waiting to learn more, but it's great to see this is also getting a Switch 2 release.
Kingdom Hearts 4
Release date: TBC
Kingdom Hearts 4 is officially landing on Switch 2 at launch, but we're still waiting on an official release date about the mysterious next entry in the series. Set to bring Sora back in a fresh adventure where you'll take on the heartless in what's being referred to as the "Lost Master Arc". With some flashes of gameplay during the Nintendo Direct June 2026 showcase, we're still waiting to learn more.
