Publisher Finji has announced that Tunic will receive an update for the Nintendo Switch 2. The news came via a BlueSky post on the game's fourth anniversary. No release date has been specified, but the update is described as on its way.
Finji shared the news of Tunic's upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 version in a BlueSky post on the game's fourth birthday. The announcement, highlighted in an Eurogamer article published on March 17, 2026, states that the update is in development with no specific launch date provided, noting it is 'on its way' sometime in the future. Tunic, developer Andrew Shouldice's isometric adventure game featuring a fox protagonist, draws inspiration from early Zelda titles. Players explore a world rendered in tilt-shift art style, filled with dangers, collectibles, and secrets hidden in plain sight through clever use of the isometric perspective. The game features an invented language for signposts and instructions, requiring players to collect torn pages of an in-game manual scattered throughout the world to understand objectives, mechanics, and paths forward. This approach emphasizes discovery, with many abilities available from the start but obscured until revealed through exploration. Combat includes challenging encounters and bosses, alongside a Soulslike bonfire mechanic for resting. Puzzles involve intricate designs, often musical, and meta-elements pieced together from scraps found during the journey. The soundtrack contributes significantly to its memorability. The Eurogamer piece reflects on the game's impact, describing it as a 2022 standout that evokes childlike wonder through its encouragement of experimentation and play, without overt guidance.
