Orange Popcorn, the acclaimed indie studio behind HunterX, is preparing to debut its next action RPG, Maid of Salvation, on the Nintendo Switch.
The company officially announced that the eagerly anticipated title will arrive as a digital download on the Nintendo eShop on January 28, 2026, further expanding Orange Popcorn’s presence on Nintendo’s hybrid platform. Maid of Salvation continues the studio’s tradition of delivering engaging, skill-focused gameplay coupled with distinctive narrative elements.
Drawing on the fast-paced, versatile combat inspired by their earlier success, HunterX, Orange Popcorn elevates the experience with an inventive blend of swordplay, firearms-based tactics, and dynamic exploration.
The gameplay centers on swift action, rewarding players who master an extensive arsenal of weapons and the creative fusion of skills acquired throughout exploration. Players take on the role of Shizuka, a maid charged with a sacred mission from the Overseer of the Sanctuary.
Her journey leads her into a perilous Purgatory overrun by supernatural Fiends.
As Shizuka confronts formidable adversaries and navigates treacherous environments, she is forced to question both her purpose and the grim realities shaping her world.
The game’s narrative weaves themes of redemption and discovery, urging players to uncover the truth behind her mission and the unsettling secrets of Purgatory. In describing the experience, Orange Popcorn emphasized Maid of Salvation’s focus on deep, satisfying combat systems.
The studio noted that players can expect to employ a variety of fighting techniques using swords, firearms, and exclusive skills—each move executed with responsive controls.
Strategic elements such as dodging, guarding, precise parrying, and chain attacks add layers of complexity as players challenge over 20 powerful bosses and encounter unique battle scenarios throughout the game’s storyline. Beyond its robust combat, Maid of Salvation offers a finely tuned skill board system, allowing for customization and character development tailored to individual playstyles.
Players are encouraged to discover hidden quests, tackle formidable secret bosses, and engage with the unfolding stories of both allies and rival maids encountered along the way. Maid of Salvation stands out as a significant addition to the Nintendo Switch library, highlighting Orange Popcorn’s continued dedication to quality indie experiences.
Fans can look forward to diving into Shizuka’s intense quest when Maid of Salvation launches digitally on January 28, 2026.
