Krafton and Flyway Games have confirmed that Waltz and Jam, an action-adventure platformer that reimagines the Seven Deadly Sins, will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on December 3, 2026.
The announcement arrived alongside a release-date trailer and positions the title as a story-driven platformer built around environmental puzzles, boss encounters, and a central companion mechanic.
Game overview
Waltz and Jam follows Waltz, described as a pure-hearted soul, and Jam, a shape-shifting dog, on a journey through the afterlife.
Players will visit seven distinct realms—each themed around one of the Seven Deadly Sins—solve environmental puzzles, collect toys that grant special abilities, battle towering bosses, and work toward passage through the Gate of Judgement en route to a destination called Uptown.
Companion mechanics and toys
Krafton and Flyway present Jam as an essential gameplay pillar rather than mere cosmetic support.
Promotional materials explain Jam’s transformations—such as a bouncing water ball and a trampoline form—serve as core tools for traversal and puzzle-solving.
Developers likewise emphasize the interplay between Jam’s forms and Waltz’s toy-based abilities: combining transformations with toy effects will be key to reaching hidden areas and overcoming obstacles.
The team also highlights collectible toys scattered across the worlds.
According to the announcement, each toy carries a unique power that can interact with environmental contraptions, open secret passages, and dispatch enemies, unlocking new ways to approach puzzles and progression.
World design and bosses
Waltz and Jam frames its levels as handcrafted, storybook-like realms that reinterpret each sin with a distinct visual mood—from chaotic, restaurant-like scenes to shadow-tangled castles and rolling desert landscapes.
At the conclusion of each realm awaits a large boss fight thematically tied to that world’s sin; players are expected to read boss patterns, exploit openings, and use toys and Jam’s transformations to prevail.
Release details and availability
Krafton and Flyway have set the Nintendo Switch 2 release date for December 3, 2026 and released a launch-date trailer.
The announcement did not include specific pricing, information on physical editions, or details about Nintendo eShop availability.
Further distribution and platform details may be shared in future updates or during Nintendo Direct events.
Waltz and Jam marks a notable collaboration between Krafton and indie studio Flyway Games and adds to the growing slate of narrative-driven platformers targeting Nintendo’s next-generation hardware.
