Launching this Summer Exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2
LONDON & TOKYO (Feb. 5, 2026) – Grab a partner and prepare for an intergalactic experience like no other – the retro anime-inspired two-player co-operative adventure Orbitals launches exclusively on Nintendo Switch™ 2 this summer.
Orbitals invites co-op buddies to take on the roles of Maki and Omura as they take to the stars in a last-ditch effort to save their home from a dangerous cosmic storm. Together, they will leap through dangerous caverns, pilot their spaceship through perilous asteroid fields, go head-to-head in unique minigames and use their wits to overcome every obstacle in their path – and have fun along the way.
Challenge your friend to a quick arcade game and enjoy a brief respite from your travels.
During their space-faring adventures, Maki and Omura will use a variety of tools to solve puzzles and unlock the route ahead, including:
- The Scrap Hook – grapple and move platforms with ease, creating new routes for your partner to leap to
- The Liquid Launcher – blast a stream of pressured water to activate far-off mechanisms and cool down hot surfaces
The Beam Cannon – unleash a highly-concentrated stream of intense heat to destroy obstacles and even melt metal obstacles
While one player melts the girder with the Beam Cannon, the other can move it with the Scrap Hook. Put your minds together to use your tools in a variety of ways.
In Orbitals, there’s a whole galaxy of adventures waiting for you – are you ready to overcome the odds together?
Players can connect in various ways using their Nintendo Switch 2 console. Either by teaming up with two pairs of Joy-Con™ 2 controllers on a single Nintendo Switch 2 device for split-screen local co-op, or using the system’s GameShare feature to share Orbitals with another player on a compatible Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch device and taking advantage of the Nintendo Switch 2’s built-in microphone and GameChat, players around the world can team up and save the day together as one inseparable team.
Orbitals will launch exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 this summer and is available to Wishlist now. For more information, follow the game’s official social channels or sign up for the official newsletter on the official website at www.orbitalsgame.com.
