Nested Lands Confirmed for Nintendo Switch: Meta Publishing Brings Ruthless Medieval RPG to Console

Meta Publishing and 1M Bits Horde have officially announced the release of Nested Lands on Nintendo Switch, expanding the reach of their ambitious medieval RPG to one of Nintendo's most popular gaming platforms.

The game is slated for release later this year and will be available via the Nintendo eShop, ensuring accessibility for players worldwide. First revealed on PC, Nested Lands is a gritty and punishing medieval RPG that supports both single-player and online cooperative multiplayer modes.

The game distinguishes itself with a robust feature set that blends survival mechanics, tactical combat, and deep social management systems.

Players will engage in village building, large-scale societal management, and fierce battles against AI-driven enemies and the harsh environment. Set in a world devastated by a relentless plague, Nested Lands casts players into a kingdom teetering on the brink of collapse.

Once thriving landscapes have given way to chaos, with marauding bandits and plague-maddened adversaries populating the ruined lands.

As a survivor, players begin with virtually nothing and must navigate a highly interactive environment, gathering resources, crafting essential tools, and establishing a settlement capable of withstanding external threats.

The game’s dynamic weather patterns and a relentless winter season offer additional layers of challenge, pushing players to strategize every action for survival. In a statement corresponding with the Nintendo Switch announcement, representatives for Meta Publishing emphasized the game’s focus on player-driven decision-making and persistent consequences, noting that every action will be observed and judged in real time.

"Players must continuously adapt to unpredictable events and threats, testing their resilience and strategic planning in a world where safety is never guaranteed," the publisher communicated through official channels. Nested Lands' move to Nintendo Switch marks a significant milestone for both the developers and the growing catalog of hardcore indie RPGs on the platform.

Nintendo Switch’s hybrid nature allows both docked and portable play, providing new opportunities for players to collaborate in online co-op or brave the solitary dangers of Nested Lands’ world on-the-go. The partnership between Meta Publishing and 1M Bits Horde continues a trend of critically acclaimed indie titles making their way to Nintendo Switch, further cementing the eShop as a premier destination for immersive role-playing experiences.

While a specific release date has not yet been provided, the publishers assure that further details, including Nintendo Direct showcases and eShop listings, will be made available as the game approaches launch.
