Cladun X3 English Localization Announced for Nintendo Switch by NIS America

NIS America has officially announced the English localization of Cladun X3 for Nintendo Switch, confirming the game’s Western release is scheduled for 2025.

This announcement arrives after Cladun X3 previously debuted in Japan earlier this year, following its initial reveal in September.

As the latest addition to the long-running Cladun series of pixel action RPGs, Cladun X3 promises fans a blend of deep customization, strategic dungeon exploration, and the quirky charm that has defined the franchise. Cladun X3 invites players to the mysterious world of Arcanus Cella, where notorious villains from across the land are drawn together to compete in a brutal deadly competition under the guise of securing world peace.

Each player assumes the role of one of these villains, fighting for survival by strengthening their powers and delving into perilous dungeons.

The gameplay focuses on tactical combat, requiring players to navigate monster-infested floors, evade intricate traps, and form alliances with other evil-doers encountered along the way. NIS America’s representative remarked in a recent statement that the English localization of Cladun X3 is intended to deliver the full breadth of gameplay and customization features that have made the series a cult favorite.

Players can expect the characteristic pixel art style and a robust system of upgrades, with a strong emphasis on customization. Returning series features include comprehensive customization options: players can personalize not only their characters but also weapons and even background music.

With the choice of six unique weapon types and ten different jobs, each offering their own stats, weapon preferences, and Magic Circles, the game affords a high degree of player agency and replay value.

The signature Magic Circle System returns, allowing adventurers to recruit and deploy custom characters to empower their main unit, opening up strategic depth unique to the Cladun franchise. Cladun X3’s launch on the Nintendo Switch continues NIS America’s ongoing support for the platform and signals the publisher’s ongoing commitment to bringing distinctive Japanese RPG experiences to Western audiences.

Fans of the Cladun series and newcomers alike can look forward to testing their skills against a host of monsters and traps when the game releases in Western territories in 2025. For more updates on Cladun X3 and the latest Nintendo Switch releases, stay tuned to our continuing coverage.
