Red Dunes Games, in partnership with developer BugBlio Studio, has officially revealed LightSup, an upcoming couch co-op rogue-lite adventure game for the Nintendo Switch 2.
Targeting a late 2026 release, LightSup is poised to become a highlight in the Nintendo Switch 2’s expanding catalogue of multiplayer experiences, offering players the opportunity to team up locally and take on the darkness threatening the world of Lumineia. LightSup places up to four players in the roles of apprentice adventurers, each equipped with unique abilities and playstyles.
The core gameplay revolves around cooperation, as players battle through monstrous swarms and gain powerful Blessings while contending with hazardous Curses.
The primary quest tasks adventurers with reigniting the legendary Altar of Light, an ancient artifact central to restoring peace and sanity to a kingdom plunged into perpetual eclipse. According to the developers, LightSup is designed to deliver "chaotic, fast-paced" cooperative gameplay that thrives on team dynamics.
As each session unfolds, players can expect randomized encounters, ensuring no two runs are exactly alike.
Choices made by the group affect not only their abilities but also the encounters they will face, with every powerful Blessing or perilous Curse chosen collectively—and permanently affecting the entire party's fate.
"Your journey branches in unexpected ways, and the whole party shares the consequences," stated a spokesperson from BugBlio Studio.
"Teamwork is essential as you brave unpredictable threats and mysteries together." The game features a diverse cast of unlockable characters, each with distinct traits and upgrade paths, allowing players to tailor their strategies as they fight to survive the Nightmare’s growing influence.
The Altar of Light mechanic introduces a unique twist: players must stay within its protective glow to maintain their sanity and gain the Virtue buff, but lingering in darkness inflicts the debilitating Fear debuff, gradually weakening the party and upping the stakes during intense encounters. Rogue-lite progression ensures every playthrough is a unique journey, with opportunities to collect team-wide perks, choose new routes, take on challenging bosses, and uncover hidden secrets woven into the world of Lumineia.
With its emphasis on laughter, coordination, and pure couch co-op chaos, LightSup aims to become a go-to title for fans of local multiplayer on the Nintendo Switch 2. LightSup is slated for availability via the Nintendo eShop at launch.
