Sworn Launches on Nintendo Switch: Team17 and Windwalker Games Deliver Co-op Arthurian Rogue-like Adventure

Team17 and Windwalker Games have officially launched 'Sworn' on Nintendo Switch, bringing a fresh cooperative rogue-like experience rooted in Arthurian legend to the platform’s vast gaming audience.

Following its initial announcement in March 2024, the anticipated title made a surprise debut on the Nintendo eShop on October 30, 2025, offering players an engaging blend of action, strategy, and mythological adventure. Sworn catapults players into a reimagined Camelot, now fallen under the shadow of a corrupted King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.

Designed as a 1-4 player co-op rogue-like, Sworn challenges players to team up, leveraging both unique character classes and individual combat skills, as they battle through diverse, hazardous biomes.

The title stands out with its dynamic multiplayer options, allowing adventurers to journey solo or collaborate with up to three friends to topple Arthur’s dark regime. At the heart of the gameplay is the deep build variety.

Sworn features over 200 unique "Blessings of the Fae," empowering players to customize their strategy run after run.

Whether choosing to swear allegiance to different Fae Lords or mixing and matching weapon abilities, players can craft thousands of potent builds, ensuring no two playthroughs are ever the same.

Progression in Sworn is persistent, allowing both new abilities and knowledge earned from previous runs—hallmarks of the rogue-like genre—to shape each new attempt at reaching and dethroning King Arthur. Visual presentation is another highlight.

Sworn boasts an enchanting, hand-drawn art style that vividly renders the cosmic and mystical aspects of Arthurian legend.

The world's distinct aesthetic captures both the grandeur and the peril of the fallen realm, adding immersion as players explore Camelot’s corrupted ruins and battle its otherworldly threats. Since its unveiling, industry watchers have noted the collaboration between Team17—renowned for successful indie titles—and the emerging talent at Windwalker Games.

Their combined expertise is evident throughout Sworn, from the polish of its gameplay mechanics to the depth of cooperative play. The Nintendo Switch launch brings Sworn to a broad audience through the Switch eShop, further diversifying the platform’s rapidly growing rogue-like library.

As fans continue to seek engaging multiplayer experiences, Sworn’s mix of cooperative action, build diversity, and Arthurian storytelling positions it as a standout addition. Sworn is now available for download on the Nintendo Switch eShop, with full support for both solo and multiplayer modes.

Players can experience the game's atmospheric realms, strategize with friends, and take on one of legend’s most infamous kings—King Arthur himself.

For a glimpse of the gameplay and the world awaiting within, the official launch trailer is available on Nintendo's digital platforms. With its surprise Switch release, Sworn is poised to capture the imaginations of both rogue-like aficionados and lovers of mythic adventure alike.
