Visualnoveler, an independent game development studio known for its storytelling-driven titles, has officially confirmed that its upcoming action RPG, Nezori, is set for release on the Nintendo Switch with a projected launch window in the first quarter of 2026.
This lighthearted adventure, originally funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign, continues Visualnoveler’s push into engaging, character-focused narratives for the Nintendo platform. Nezori casts players as Atsuko, a spirited young fox girl drawn into a quest to uncover the legendary hot springs—an idyllic place her kind has all but forgotten.
As Atsuko traverses lush and beautifully realized 3D environments, she explores the domains of the wolf-like Sothiens.
The world of Nezori is populated by a distinctive cast that ranges from charming fox girls to formidable Sothien adversaries, fueling a spirited rivalry and an unfolding story of self-discovery. In a statement reflecting on the game’s core vision, Visualnoveler described Nezori as an “action RPG featuring a lively and memorable cast, a playful tone, and a world filled with secrets.” The studio further emphasized Atsuko’s journey as a tale of determination, in which she must prove her skills to the Sothiens and ultimately face challenges that are far greater than mere battles for territory.
“This adventure is not just about finding the hot springs,” a representative explained.
“It’s about overcoming obstacles, uncovering forgotten histories, and revealing truths hidden beneath the surface.” Nezori’s gameplay centers around real-time action combat, allowing players to harness a range of abilities and special attacks to defeat challenging opponents.
The game’s environments are designed to reward exploration, with hidden treasures, narrative secrets, and detailed 3D landscapes fostering immersion.
The warm and lighthearted narrative tone is balanced with heartfelt moments, resonant character interactions, and a richly imagined world. The journey to Nintendo Switch marks a major milestone for Nezori and Visualnoveler.
The successful Kickstarter campaign reached its funding goals thanks to robust community support, highlighting strong demand for original indie experiences on the Nintendo eShop.
With a Q1 2026 release window, Nezori joins a growing roster of indie action RPGs aimed at the Switch audience—a group that values both engaging storytelling and accessible, replayable gameplay. Nezori is expected to launch digitally on the Nintendo Switch eShop in early 2026.
