Drova: Forsaken Kin to Receive Physical Release on Nintendo Switch via Limited Run Games

Limited Run Games has officially announced that the acclaimed pixel art action RPG Drova: Forsaken Kin will be receiving a physical release on the Nintendo Switch.

This marks an anticipated move for fans of indie RPGs, as a tangible version of the game will soon be available alongside its digital counterpart on the Switch eShop. Details shared by Limited Run Games confirm that only a standard edition of Drova: Forsaken Kin is planned for this physical launch.

While some collectors may be hoping for additional bundled merchandise or special packaging, the release will include a game booklet, offering fans a concise companion piece and collectible. Drova: Forsaken Kin immerses players in a bleak, intricately crafted world that pays homage to the rich traditions of grim dark fantasy and the mystical elements of Celtic mythology.

The game places a strong emphasis on player agency, with decisions and actions directly shaping the environment and driving the narrative forward.

Set in a society that has harnessed the lost powers of a fallen empire—specifically, the ability to capture and control nature’s governing spirits—the story challenges players to navigate the resulting conflict among the divided spirits and factions vying for dominance. Players are invited to align themselves with one of two distinct factions, each with its own ethos and ambitions.

This foundational choice carries weight throughout the entirety of the adventure, leaving lasting consequences on the outcome of the story and the world at large.

Core gameplay features include exploring hazardous landscapes, undertaking quests, trading, gathering resources, and crafting equipment.

Success in Drova: Forsaken Kin depends on careful observation and mastery of both environmental and combat mechanics. The haunting open world is designed to reward curiosity and strategy, as players encounter teachers who can impart new abilities and skills, all the while confronting betrayals and challenging adversaries.

Capturing and wielding the power of nature spirits becomes a central mechanic—though doing so provokes their wrath and molds the world into an even more treacherous setting. Fans eager to secure their physical copy of Drova: Forsaken Kin can begin pre-ordering the Nintendo Switch standard edition starting October 17, 2025, via the official Limited Run Games storefront.

This marks another important collaboration as Limited Run Games continues its mission to bring digital hits to collectors in physical form. For industry watchers and RPG enthusiasts, this release underscores both the enduring popularity of the Nintendo Switch as a platform for indie gems and Limited Run Games’ ongoing commitment to preserving and celebrating standout titles in physical format.
