Nullstar: Solus Release Date Announced for Nintendo Switch – Fast-Paced Drone Platformer Hits eShop April 2026
indie.io and Smash Attack Aus have officially confirmed that their upcoming sci-fi 2D platformer, Nullstar: Solus, will launch globally on April 16, 2026, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop.
This new title brings a blend of precision platforming and speed-focused gameplay to Nintendo’s popular hybrid platform, promising players a challenging test of reflexes and strategy.
Set in a futuristic world of abandoned chambers and overgrown corridors, Nullstar: Solus puts players in control of a drone tasked with navigating through 80 meticulously designed, bite-sized levels.
Each stage is crafted to reward skilled play, encouraging speed and mastery as players maneuver past mechanical traps, organic hazards, and remnants of ancient technology, all in pursuit of the universe’s most powerful energy source.
The game emphasizes accessibility for newcomers while offering depth for veterans.
Its intuitive thruster system offers multiple route options within each level, allowing creative solutions for finishing each stage and enabling seasoned players to pursue lightning-fast completion times.
This system, designed to be easy to pick up yet challenging to truly master, is at the heart of the title’s replayability and speedrunning appeal on Nintendo Switch.
Dean Baron, founder of Smash Attack Aus, commented on the development journey, stating that Nullstar began in mid-2024 as a personal project to fulfill his long-held aspirations in game development.
As the project grew, it became a collaborative effort that brought together talented creators from across the globe.
Baron describes Nullstar: Solus as a heartfelt tribute to the classic games that inspired its creators, noting that the experience of bringing their vision to life has been transformative for the team.
"This game is our collective love letter to the genre, and we are thrilled to finally let players around the world experience the result.
For every pilot out there, remember: be faster," he shared.
Nullstar: Solus is set to expand the Nintendo Switch’s already robust indie library when it launches digitally worldwide on the Nintendo eShop.
With its focus on high-speed gameplay, tightly designed stages, and a sleek sci-fi aesthetic, the title is poised to appeal to both platforming enthusiasts and speedrunners looking for new challenges.
For those eagerly anticipating new indie experiences on Nintendo Switch, Nullstar: Solus represents a standout release this coming April.
Stay tuned for further updates on gameplay footage, community events, and post-launch support from indie.io and Smash Attack Aus as the launch date approaches.
