Fireshine Games and developer Weird Beluga have opened pre-orders for Duskfade, their 3D action-platformer, on Nintendo Switch 2.
Scheduled for a digital release on the Nintendo eShop worldwide on 13 August 2026, Duskfade is priced at £24.99 ($29.99) with a 20% pre-order discount now available.
Set in a richly detailed clockpunk world, Duskfade is presented by its publisher as a modern homage to the golden age of platformers with a family-friendly, coming-of-age narrative.
The game centers on Zirian, whose sister is trapped in a mysterious Clock Tower after their world is plunged into eternal night.
Accompanied by a companion named Cuckoo, Zirian explores diverse biomes, confronts major bosses, and seeks the secrets of the Master Clockmakers to lift the curse and rescue his sister.
In publisher materials, the creative team describes Zirian’s journey as both a physical and emotional quest.
Players will navigate environments that range from ethereal forests to underwater realms and sunlit dunes, using a toolkit of moves—slash, dash, grapple, grind, jump and glide—to negotiate platforming challenges and fast-paced combat encounters.
Each area is designed to reward precision platforming and mastery of movement as much as combat proficiency.
Duskfade’s story is positioned as a layered coming-of-age tale: every enemy and obstacle represents an emotional hurdle the protagonist must overcome.
The game pairs that narrative ambition with level design intended to evoke classic platformers while leveraging 3D movement and modern mechanics.
Key features listed by the publisher include:
- Action-platformer mechanics combining fast-paced combat and precision platforming (jump, dash, grapple, glide).
- A clockpunk-themed world with varied environments—forests, underwater realms, dunes and cloudscapes—filled with secrets and characters.
- An emotional coming-of-age story that frames enemies and bosses as metaphorical challenges.
A launch trailer accompanied the pre-order announcement.
Duskfade will be available digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 beginning 13 August 2026; pre-orders are live now with a limited 20% discount.
