Perp Games and Project Cloud Games have officially announced that their ambitious action RPG, The Relic: First Guardian, is slated for release on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 later this year.
This partnership represents another significant milestone for both developers and Nintendo's highly anticipated next-generation hardware, offering players a new level of immersive gameplay on the Switch platform. The Relic: First Guardian, rooted in Asian mythology, tasks players with rescuing a once-thriving land called Arsiltus from the grips of a devastating void.
As the continent succumbs to darkness and death, players embark on an epic quest to recover shattered fragments of an ancient relic, piecing together a world-saving solution while uncovering a vast tapestry of interwoven stories and ancient legends. Described as delivering a unique synthesis of storytelling, exploration, and deep combat mechanics, The Relic: First Guardian sets itself apart through its rich narrative structure.
The game introduces players to 70 formidable bosses known as 'Brutals,' each carrying their own tragic backstory woven into the main plot.
Mastering combat against these epic adversaries demands a combination of weapons, magic, and custom skillsets.
Players must also carefully manage stamina and defenses, with every successful battle granting not only special relic items but also the inheritance of fallen Brutals’ stories and crucial upgrades for ongoing progression. Exploration plays a central role in gameplay, encouraging players to delve into every corner of the continent.
Uncovering hidden fragments will unlock new skills, weapons, and armor, rewarding thorough adventurers with increased capabilities against ever-greater dangers.
The world design invites players to leave no dungeon unconquered and no secret beneath notice, emphasizing player agency and discovery. Commenting on today’s announcement, Perp Games vice president Mickey Torode remarked, "Receiving the go-ahead from Project Cloud Games to bring The Relic: First Guardian to Nintendo Switch 2 marks a significant technical achievement for our team.
We are thrilled to finally share this news with our fans.
Bringing this ambitious RPG to Switch 2 is especially exciting, as its community is renowned for their passion for deep, challenging role-playing experiences.
We look forward to unveiling more details as development progresses." The Relic: First Guardian will debut on Nintendo Switch 2 before the end of the year, expanding the Switch 2 launch lineup with a compelling new action RPG developed by the talented teams at Perp Games and Project Cloud Games.
The game promises an intricate narrative, high-stakes boss battles, and deep customization options—hallmarks of the genre tailored for modern Nintendo hardware. Stay tuned for further details and updates from Perp Games and Project Cloud Games as the release date approaches.
