Background on Monument Valley and ustwo games
Originally launched on iOS in 2014, Monument Valley quickly became a standout in the puzzle genre, enchanting players with its blend of surreal architecture, perspective-shifting gameplay, and minimalist art direction.
The game follows a tiny princess who navigates impossible pathways and mind-bending environments.
Its critical and commercial success led to multiple awards and robust expansion, with Monument Valley 2 debuting in 2017 and Monument Valley 3 arriving on mobile in 2024 under Netflix’s publishing banner.
What’s New in the Switch Versions?
The Nintendo Switch release promises a fresh way to experience the entire Monument Valley series.
For the first time, the trilogy will feature cinematic widescreen visuals and offer full compatibility with both keyboard and mouse or gamepad controls.
According to ustwo games, this release will allow players to experience "stunning art design and impossible landscapes," fully optimized for console play.
Monument Valley 3: Expanded Gameplay and Features
In Monument Valley 3, players help the protagonist, Noor, embark on her biggest quest yet—to find a source of light before darkness consumes her world.
The adventure traverses sprawling cities, mysterious coastal harbors, and abstract, ethereal settings.
Each chapter introduces fresh mechanics and innovative puzzles, evolving the gameplay with every step.
For the first time in the series, Noor can take control of a boat, granting players the freedom to explore beautifully surreal waterways in open-play environments—a unique addition to the trilogy.
ustwo games emphasized that Monument Valley 3 draws inspiration from global architectural styles, experimental art, and personal storytelling.
The Switch edition is described as a “living, breathing art” experience, with major chapter updates planned post-launch, offering new puzzles, stories, and surprises exclusive to console and PC players.
Release Dates and Platform Details
The first two Monument Valley titles arrive on the Nintendo eShop on April 15, 2025, with Monument Valley 3 set for a summer 2025 debut.
This marks a significant expansion from the series' mobile origins, bringing the full trilogy—along with bonus content and widescreen visuals—to a broader audience.
With its unique gameplay mechanics, award-winning art style, and new Switch-exclusive enhancements, the Monument Valley trilogy is poised to enchant both existing fans and newcomers on Nintendo Switch this year.
