Originally launched on mobile platforms, Cytus 2 is being adapted for Nintendo hardware by Flyhigh Works in partnership with Rayark, bringing the studio’s signature rhythmic gameplay, additional songs, and new characters to console audiences.
In a joint announcement, Flyhigh Works and Rayark confirmed that Cytus 2 is scheduled to arrive on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027.
The companies said the port will include console-specific packaging and content updates to suit Nintendo platforms, and they released a teaser trailer to mark the console announcement.
