We’ve been excited about this for a while.
Orbitalsthe Switch 2 exclusive, inspired by the anime from publisher Kepler Interactive, will arrive on September 3, Nintendo announced today during its summer direct presentation. We got our first look at the game back in February when it closed out the company’s Direct partner. At the time, Nintendo promised Orbitals would arrive over the summer, and fortunately, it’s still on track to meet that deadline.
If Orbitals hasn’t been on your radar, it’s best described as a two-player puzzle adventure game. You and a friend or family member play as two intergalactic explorers tasked with saving their home from an impending cosmic storm. The game’s animated, ’90s-inspired aesthetic obviously stands out, but it also feels like a fun take on games like He Take two And Divided fiction. Orbitals will support local and online co-op, and with support for Switch 2’s GameShare feature, only one person needs to own the game for two people to play. You can pre-order Orbitals starting today on the Nintendo eShop.
