BALL x PIT Announced for Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch: Release Date, Features, and Details

Devolver Digital and acclaimed indie developer Kenny Sun have officially announced that BALL x PIT is currently in development for both the Nintendo Switch and the next-generation Nintendo Switch 2.

This innovative brick-breaking, ball-fusing, base-building survival roguelite is slated for a global digital release on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch on October 15, 2025, with a subsequent launch on Nintendo Switch 2 later that same year. BALL x PIT brings fast-paced gameplay that challenges players to face relentless waves of enemies using a vast arsenal of projectiles.

These projectiles, or "balls," are not just weapons—they can be evolved, upgraded, and fused, allowing players to unlock new strategies and create a wide range of overpowered combinations.

Throughout their journey, players will gather resources from the treacherous pit, which can then be used to expand their base, build structures, and recruit a diverse cast of heroes. Devolver Digital has outlined several core features that define the BALL x PIT experience: Ball Fusion System: Players can experiment with the Ball Fusion system, picking from over 60 randomized balls that can be mixed in countless ways.

This mechanic encourages discovery, enabling hundreds of unique outcomes and powerful synergies that keep gameplay fresh and engaging. Base Expansion and Automation: The game offers more than 70 unique buildings to construct within the ever-growing community of New Ballbylon.

As your settlement flourishes, you can assign heroes to automate essential resource-gathering tasks, freeing players to focus on deeper pit exploration and progression. Diverse Realms and Enemies: Each quest delves into challenging environments, such as barren deserts, frozen caverns, and untamed forests.

Every region introduces its own hazards, pushing players to adapt and confront ever-tougher adversaries, including formidable boss encounters. Character Recruitment: As players explore, they will meet and recruit fellow treasure hunters, each bringing unique upgradeable abilities that can significantly alter the game’s strategy and pacing.

Mastery of these mechanics and flexibility are key to thriving in the evolving world of New Ballbylon. BALL x PIT marks a continued partnership between Devolver Digital—recognized for its support of creative indie projects—and developer Kenny Sun, known for distinctive gameplay innovation.

The game’s release on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 emphasizes its commitment to both current fans and early adopters of Nintendo’s next hardware iteration. With its October 15, 2025 launch date set for Nintendo Switch via the eShop and a Nintendo Switch 2 release to follow in late 2025, BALL x PIT stands out as one of the year’s most anticipated indie releases.
