Nintendo has confirmed a host of new games coming to the Switch during an Indie World Stream.
The twenty minute presentation aired earlier today (May 11) and confirmed the names of twenty new titles coming to the console – check them all out below or watch the presentation here.
Arcade-adventure game Gibbon: Beyond The Trees was released as soon as the presentation ended, as was novel adventure title OPUS: Echo Of Starsong – Full Bloom Edition.
Also released today is Soundfall, a fast-paced, rhythm-based dungeon crawler combines looter-shooter action with musical gameplay that’ll keep you tapping your toes.
In other musical game news, We Are OFK follows the lives of four friends in their 20s as they attempt to break into the music business, fall in and out of love, and figure out how to pay rent and make art in Los Angeles while Idol Manager tasks players with creating and managing their own K-pop group.
Ooblets, a life simulation video game developed and published by Glumberland, is set for release summer 2022 as is Cursed To Golf and OneShot: World Machine Edition.
Elsewhere Batora: Lost Haven (out Autumn 2022) combines the features of a hack & slash and a twin-stick shooter in a nonlinear interplanetary story-driven action RPG and is from Team17 and Stormind games.
Puzzler ElecHead is coming Summer 2022, as is strategy title Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
Wayward Strand is a heartfelt interactive story, told in a unique and curious way while Cult Of The Lamb casts players in the role of a possessed lamb saved from annihilation by an ominous stranger, and must repay their debt by building a loyal following in his name.
Also announced were horror puzzler SILT, card-battling roguelike Wildfrost, puzzle strategy game Mini Motorways, noir-punk action-adventure Gunbrella and plot-based adventure game A Guidebook Of Babel.
Meanwhile coming in 2023 is Another Crab’s Treasure, a soulslike adventure set in a crumbling underwater world. As Kril the hermit crab, you’ll need to wear the trash around you as shells to withstand attacks from enemies many times your size. Embark on an epic treasure hunt to buy back your repossessed shell, and discover the dark secrets behind the polluted ocean.
