Strange Scaffold has confirmed a firm release date for I Am Your Beast, its new first-person arcade shooter described as a covert revenge thriller.
The studio announced the game will launch digitally worldwide on the Nintendo eShop for both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on 20 October 2026.
The announcement was reported by Alex Seedhouse, a long-standing Nintendo specialist.
I Am Your Beast places players in the role of retired agent Alphonse Harding, who is pulled back into conflict after refusing one final mission.
The narrative setup triggers a guerrilla conflict between Harding and the Covert Operations Initiative (COI), forcing the protagonist to survive across the North American wilderness using improvised weaponry and a network of escape tunnels.
Strange Scaffold summarized the core player experience as a lightning-fast fantasy centered on surprise ambushes and extreme mobility.
The developer explained the game emphasizes superhuman traversal — including rapid tree climbing — and violent, high-impact combat moments such as powerful headshot effects.
Key verified features outlined by Strange Scaffold include:
- A fully voiced story campaign spanning more than 20 levels.
- A comic book-inspired visual style that shapes environments and character presentation.
- Replayable micro-sandbox levels designed for speedrunning and chase-style side objectives.
- A variety of weapons and tools, from pistols and sniper rifles to bear traps and enemy equipment that can be turned against foes.
- An original soundtrack composed by RJ Lake, whose prior credits include Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator, Unbeatable, and El Paso, Elsewhere.
- An innovative 'kinetic typography' system for cutscenes that integrates text and motion into narrative moments.
A launch trailer accompanied the release-date announcement, showcasing gameplay loops, the art direction, and examples of the game's high-mobility combat.
Strange Scaffold has positioned I Am Your Beast as a digitally distributed title for Nintendo's current and next portable-home hybrid platforms, with availability through the Nintendo eShop on release day.
For Nintendo-focused readers tracking upcoming releases, I Am Your Beast is confirmed for 20 October 2026 on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2; further details and retail availability will be announced by Strange Scaffold ahead of launch.
