HeroCraft’s acclaimed blacksmith shop management simulation, Anvil Saga, is forging its path to the Nintendo Switch, with an official release date set for June 26, 2025.
Having already garnered a following on PC via Steam, this medieval sim invites a new wave of console players to step into the heated world of blacksmithing during the turbulent Hundred Years’ War.
Anvil Saga is rooted in the strategy and management genre, bringing a unique medieval setting to the Nintendo Switch eShop.
Players are tasked with running and expanding a blacksmith workshop in 15th-century France, all while navigating the complex politics of the era.
As workshop master, gamers must fulfill orders from a varied clientele—including nobles, priests, soldiers, and even bandits—each with their own set of needs and shifting allegiances.
Balancing client demands, managing relationships, and maintaining a thriving forge are all central to the Anvil Saga experience on Nintendo Switch.
The transition from PC to Nintendo Switch marks Anvil Saga's console debut.
HeroCraft has confirmed that the entire simulation experience, complete with its branching narrative and dynamic reputation system, will be preserved for Switch users.
The developer highlighted the game’s core appeal by stating that every player decision influences not just daily workshop operations, but also overarching storylines and the blacksmith's standing with multiple factions.
This commitment to consequential gameplay elevates Anvil Saga beyond a traditional management sim, promising high replayability and player agency.
Originally launched on Steam, Anvil Saga has attracted a strong player base eager for in-depth simulation and storytelling.
"Players have already tested their mettle in the PC version, and now we’re excited to open the forge doors to console users," a representative from HeroCraft explained in a recent statement.
The game's layered system requires careful resource allocation, worker satisfaction management, and negotiation with competing powers, all set against the backdrop of a historically rich era.
Anvil Saga is priced at $19.99 USD on the Nintendo Switch eShop.
In anticipation of its release, pre-orders are now live, offering a 20 percent discount for early adopters.
Switch owners can soon join thousands who have already experienced the engaging blend of sim gameplay and medieval narrative that defines Anvil Saga.
