Co-op adventure game, Orbitals launches September 3 for Switch 2

Orbitals is officially releasing exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 on September 3, 2026. Pre-orders for the game are available now on the Nintendo eShop and at local retailers. The physical edition is normally $49.99, but on Walmart it’s currently $39.99.

Orbitals features Maki and Omura as they go on an adventure set in a retro anime-inspired universe. It’s a two-player co-op game that requires two people to play similar to Split Fiction from 2025.

Orbitals lets players team up and brave the deadly Storm Wall and the perils beyond to save their home. Designed for asymmetric two-player co-op either in local split-screen or locally or online with GameShare, Orbitals rewards smart teamwork and clear communication. The GameShare feature also works if the second player is using a Switch 1.

Below is an overview of Orbitals via its store listing:

Our duo must venture beyond the storm and into the unknown in a desperate bid to save their home. It’ll take brains, bravery, and teamwork to make it through!

That Retro Anime Feeling!
Orbitals captures the warmth and style of classic Japanese anime, brought to life with hand-crafted cinematic cutscenes from Studio Massket, full voice acting in English, Japanese and 6 other languages, and an original soundtrack that channels the magic of the era.

A Puzzle Adventure Made for Co-op
