Drova: Forsaken Kin Confirmed for Nintendo Switch — Deck13 and Just2D Announce eShop Release
Deck13 and developer Just2D have confirmed that their action RPG Drova: Forsaken Kin will be released on Nintendo Switch as a digital download via the Nintendo eShop.
The announcement establishes Switch as one of the target platforms for the title; however, the publishers have not provided a release window or exact launch date.
Background and context
Drova: Forsaken Kin is presented as a grimdark action role-playing game.
Deck13 — known for publishing a variety of mid‑to‑large scale RPGs — is handling publishing duties while Just2D leads development.
The project centers on a post‑empire society that has discovered methods to capture and control nature spirits, a premise that drives the game’s factional conflict and narrative choices.
What the announcement says (rewritten)
Deck13 and Just2D describe Drova as a handcrafted, dynamic world where player decisions visibly alter the environment and the broader story.
The developers emphasize exploration without reliance on quest markers or minimaps, asking players to navigate using environmental cues and contextual storytelling similar to classic role‑playing games.
Combat is framed around a ‘‘flow of battle’’ system that lets players chain abilities and talent progressions learned from in‑game teachers, with each skill bearing meaningful tradeoffs.
Key verified features
- Platform and distribution: Confirmed for Nintendo Switch with plans for a digital release on the Nintendo eShop.
No release window announced.
- Genre and tone: Action RPG with grimdark thematic influences and choice‑driven narrative consequences.
- World and systems: A handcrafted, dynamic world; emphasis on exploration without quest markers; factional conflict between competing groups that affects the story; sealing and using nature spirits as a core mechanic.

What remains open
Deck13 and Just2D have not published a firm release date or detailed platform list beyond the confirmed Nintendo Switch eShop listing.
Further information, including a release window, physical editions (if any), and cross‑platform plans, will need to come from the publisher’s updates.
