Kemco has officially announced its latest addition to the Nintendo Switch library—Hero Seekers, a fantasy role-playing game set to launch digitally on January 9, 2026.
Developed by Vanguard, this new title continues Kemco’s longstanding tradition of delivering accessible, high-quality JRPG experiences to fans around the world.
Building on a legacy of classic gameplay and inventive mechanics, Hero Seekers introduces players to a summoning adventure where nostalgia and innovation meet. Set in a world where the memory of heroism has been mysteriously erased, Hero Seekers follows the journey of Lunette, who alone remembers the legendary heroes that once defeated the Demon King and brought peace.
Driven to restore history and fend off a lingering darkness, players join Lunette on a quest to summon the lost souls of forgotten champions and rekindle the light in a now-shadowed realm. Players can expect traditional JRPG features, including turn-based command battles, intricate dungeon exploration, and a robust party-building system.
Teams of up to five heroes can be formed, with each hero boasting unique abilities and traits.
By training, equipping newly acquired gear from shops, and strategically arranging party members, players can create powerful combinations to overcome progressively challenging encounters.
Over 20 different heroes are available for recruitment, offering a blend of tactical depth and replayability. Addressing modern player preferences, Hero Seekers also incorporates several convenience features.
These include a high-speed battle mode for faster encounters, an escape spell to quickly exit dungeons, and streamlined progression to keep gameplay smooth and engaging.
The adventure promises a self-contained JRPG narrative suitable for both genre veterans and those experiencing classic turn-based RPGs for the first time. A representative from Kemco summarized the experience, noting that Hero Seekers is designed to deliver a blend of classic charm and modern features, making it approachable yet deeply satisfying.
The development team at Vanguard emphasizes their commitment to honoring the genre’s traditions while thoughtfully integrating enhancements for today’s players. Hero Seekers will be available exclusively as a digital download on the Nintendo eShop, priced at $19.99 USD.
Pre-orders are now open at a discounted price of $17.99.
This release marks another milestone for Kemco and developer Vanguard, both of whom continue to contribute to the Nintendo Switch’s thriving RPG catalogue.
With its engaging narrative, layered mechanics, and dedication to player convenience, Hero Seekers is set to resonate with fans of fantasy RPGs when it arrives in 2026.
