Silver Lining Interactive and Square Glade Games have a track record of developing innovative indie experiences that resonate with Nintendo audiences.

Outbound builds upon this legacy by offering a tranquil yet engaging adventure, aimed at those seeking both relaxation and meaningful interactions. Players can look forward to discovering Outbound’s inviting world on April 23, 2026, whether on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 or the current Nintendo Switch hardware.

Both physical and digital versions will be made available, offering flexibility for every style of player.
