SOEDESCO has confirmed that AereA, the music-themed action RPG it originally released in 2017, will arrive on Nintendo Switch on September 3, 2026.
The publisher says the Switch edition will be available digitally via the Nintendo eShop and brings gameplay improvements from the title's latest version to consoles.
Background and context
AereA launched in 2017 and has been noted for its hand-drawn art style and music-driven combat.
For the Nintendo Switch release, SOEDESCO is packaging several refinements that were introduced after the game's initial launch, with a focus on rebalanced character progression, tougher and more varied enemy encounters, and redesigned boss battles to smooth the overall sense of progression.
What to expect in the Switch version
SOEDESCO’s overview frames AereA as an adventure set on the fragmented floating world of Aezir.
Players take on the role of one of Great Maestro Guido’s disciples and embark on a mission to recover nine primordial instruments to restore balance to the shattered islands.
The game combines exploration of diverse floating islands with questing, puzzle-solving, and combat against bosses inspired by musical instruments.
The publisher also highlights a local co-op mode that supports up to four players.
