Limited Run Games Announces Physical Release of Darwin’s Paradox for Nintendo Switch 2

Limited Run Games has officially revealed plans for a physical edition of Darwin’s Paradox on Nintendo Switch 2, expanding the platform’s library with an exciting new puzzle-platformer adventure.

The announcement, made earlier today, highlights the growing trend of premium physical releases for major Nintendo titles and underscores Limited Run Games' commitment to supporting collectible releases on next-generation hardware. Darwin’s Paradox, scheduled for release in April, is the latest title to join Limited Run Games’ extensive catalog of physical game offerings.

The company has confirmed two different retail versions: a standard edition and a special collector’s edition.

The standard package delivers the base game, while the collector’s edition provides fans with a comprehensive bundle, including the physical game, a custom slipcover, an original CD soundtrack, an exclusive lithograph, a detailed figure, an engraved wooden pin, and a uniquely numbered certificate of authenticity.

These thoughtful additions are designed to appeal to collectors and dedicated fans alike. Developed for Nintendo Switch 2, Darwin’s Paradox invites players into a cinematic adventure starring Darwin, an intelligent and charismatic octopus thrust into a sprawling and mysterious industrial complex.

As Darwin, players will navigate intricate environments, leveraging abilities such as swimming, camouflage, and puzzle-solving to uncover secrets and face the dangers lurking within a massive abandoned factory. Reflecting on the game’s design philosophy, the developers note that Darwin’s Paradox achieves a seamless blend of platforming, adventure, and puzzle-solving gameplay.

Players are encouraged to swim, hide, infiltrate, and utilize Darwin’s unique octopus skills to solve environmental puzzles and evade perilous traps.

Each level is richly crafted, with a strong artistic direction that brings the game's world and narrative to life. The story follows Darwin as he explores the ocean depths before being pulled into a foreboding world above the waves.

Surrounded by strange machines and enigmatic foes, he must use his wits to outmaneuver threats and unravel a conspiracy that could have far-reaching consequences for humanity. With pre-orders now available on the official Limited Run Games website, fans and collectors can secure their copies of Darwin’s Paradox for Nintendo Switch 2 ahead of its anticipated April launch.

The title promises a memorable and immersive experience, with its combination of charming visuals, innovative gameplay, and an emotionally resonant storyline. For those looking to expand their Nintendo Switch 2 library with a standout platformer, Darwin’s Paradox represents a compelling addition—both as an engaging game and as a collectible physical release.
