Nintendo has confirmed that two high-profile souls‑like titles will arrive on its next‑generation hardware, the Nintendo Switch 2, later this year.
The publisher and platform holder named Lies of P and Lords of the Fallen 2 among its incoming lineup, with specific release timing provided for Lies of P and a seasonal window for Lords of the Fallen 2.
In a straightforward announcement, Nintendo stated that Lies of P will launch digitally for Nintendo Switch 2 on August 6, followed by a physical retail release on October 2, and that Lords of the Fallen 2 is slated for release on Nintendo Switch 2 this autumn.
Background and developer context
Lies of P was developed by Round8 Studio and published by NEOWIZ.
The action‑RPG drew attention on release platforms for its Souls‑inspired combat and narrative twist on the Pinocchio story.
The title originally released on PC and consoles in 2023 and has since become one of the most-discussed indie‑to‑AA entries in the souls‑like subgenre.
The scheduled Switch 2 editions will be distributed digitally through Nintendo's eShop and as a physical retail release, per the announcement.
Lords of the Fallen 2 is the next entry associated with the Lords of the Fallen franchise.
The franchise saw a major reboot in 2023 with a new Lords of the Fallen developed by Hexworks and published by CI Games.
Nintendo's announcement confirmed a Switch 2 version of the new follow‑up, citing an autumn release window; no precise day was included in the initial statement.
What Nintendo confirmed (paraphrased)
- Nintendo announced that Lies of P will be available digitally on Nintendo Switch 2 beginning August 6, with a physical release following on October 2.
- Nintendo also confirmed that Lords of the Fallen 2 will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 this autumn, without specifying a firm date.
