Grindstone's Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is officially headed to Nintendo Switch 2, according to a new listing on the Nintendo eShop.
The roguelike horde-survivor first launched on PC last year to positive reception, and the developer has confirmed a digital release for Nintendo's next console on July 30, 2026.
The eShop listing details the expanded Switch 2 build and highlights several substantial additions to the base game.
In journalistic terms, the listing explains that players will battle across five realms as a damned warrior taking on the trials of Norse deities, and that divine powers from figures such as Thor, Freya and Odin will periodically aid players against overwhelming enemy hordes.
The entry also notes that characters unlock perks and subclasses while leveraging godly support and other systems to build powerful, specialized runs.
New content confirmed for the Nintendo Switch 2 edition includes:
- A Fallen Hero called the Kin-Slayer, a disgraced warrior designed to deal heavy damage.
- Helheim, a new, linear underworld region featuring puzzles and a distinct progression path.
- An Endless Mode unlocked after surviving Helheim, where players face continuous waves of enemies to chase high scores and lasting runs.
- The addition of Nidhogg, described as a massive dragon that joins players in combat.
Jotunnslayer's core loop — surviving escalating waves, collecting divine blessings from ancient Viking deities, and tailoring builds through perks and subclasses — remains central in the Switch 2 port.
The Nintendo eShop listing frames these additions as part of the developer's effort to broaden the game's scope for console players while preserving the roguelike intensity that defined the PC release.
The Nintendo Switch 2 digital launch is scheduled for July 30, 2026, and the title will be available through the Nintendo eShop.
A trailer accompanying the listing provides a first look at Helheim, the Kin-Slayer, and in-game sequences featuring large-scale enemy encounters and god-powered abilities.
For readers tracking Nintendo Switch 2 releases, this port represents a notable example of PC indie roguelikes moving to Nintendo's next-generation hardware with expanded features tailored for console audiences.
More updates and coverage of Nintendo Switch 2 announcements and eShop releases will follow as additional listings and official statements appear.
