Cookie Cutter: Overkill Edition Brings Enhanced Metroidvania Action to Nintendo Switch This Spring

The acclaimed action-platformer Cookie Cutter is set for a triumphant return to the spotlight with the upcoming launch of Cookie Cutter: Overkill Edition on Nintendo Switch.

Developed by Subcult Joint and published by Rogue Games, this enhanced version of the gory, punk-inspired Metroidvania will deliver an upgraded experience for fans and newcomers alike when it hits the Switch eShop in spring 2025. First released on PC via Steam and other platforms in December 2023, Cookie Cutter quickly captured attention for its gritty, neon-soaked dystopian setting and brutally satisfying search-action gameplay.

Players take on the role of Cherry, a fierce and unconventional fembot, as she carves her way through a world teeming with grotesque adversaries and cybernetic horrors.

Its fusion of vibrant animation and "Techno-Pop-Punk Post-Kawaii" visual style helped distinguish the title, propelling it to a Team Choice Award at PAX West 2022 and garnering a "Very Positive" user rating on Steam, along with a solid 79 score on Metacritic. Now, Subcult Joint aims to elevate the experience further on Nintendo Switch with Cookie Cutter: Overkill Edition.

According to Rogue Games, this edition is packed with fresh features and community-requested improvements.

Enhancements include fully voiced dialogue for every character, new special moves and upgrades for Cherry, additional cinematic sequences that deepen the story, and thoroughly revamped progression balancing.

Notably, new map features offer better ways to track completion, while Nintendo Switch-exclusive Easter eggs have been carefully added for dedicated fans. The development team has actively addressed feedback from its initial launch by fine-tuning gameplay mechanics and implementing widespread polish—areas noted by critics in early reviews.

These tweaks, combined with new voice acting and animation, aim to deliver both a richer narrative experience and a smoother, more satisfying flow for Metroidvania fans on the Switch platform. Cookie Cutter: Overkill Edition represents Subcult Joint’s ongoing commitment to both innovation and player feedback.

As the developer continues to expand its portfolio, this release stands as a significant milestone, bringing a celebrated indie hit to the Nintendo Switch for the first time. With its scheduled spring 2025 release, Nintendo Switch users can soon experience the full-throttle, chainsaw-wielding saga of Cherry on the move.

Whether you followed Cookie Cutter’s acclaimed debut or are preparing for your first plunge into its dystopian world, the Overkill Edition’s enhancements make it a must-watch title in the Nintendo Switch action-platformer lineup.
