MIO: Memories In Orbit Heads to Nintendo Switch in 2025 – New Trailer Unveiled

Focus Entertainment and Douze Dixièmes have officially revealed a new trailer for their highly anticipated Metroidvania title, MIO: Memories In Orbit, confirming a worldwide launch on Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop in 2025. Set against a backdrop of atmospheric science fiction, MIO: Memories In Orbit places players in the role of MIO, a dexterous robot awakening within the Vessel — an immense technological ark abandoned and now adrift in space.

Once designed for a purpose that has since been forgotten, the Vessel stands as a sprawling ruin, overrun by rogue machinery and reclaiming nature. As players guide MIO through the Vessel’s labyrinthine depths, they will unlock new powers and modifiers, expanding their abilities and granting access to previously unreachable areas.

This nonlinear exploration is a hallmark of the Metroidvania genre, offering intricate, interconnected environments teeming with secrets, hidden passages, and diverse biomes.

As outlined in the publisher's statement, MIO: Memories In Orbit invites players to immerse themselves in a mysterious world full of colorful ecosystems, enigmatic inhabitants, and challenging guardian bosses. Key features highlighted for MIO: Memories In Orbit include: - Unlocking gameplay modifiers and transformative abilities that encourage deep exploration of the Vessel. - Navigating a mysterious, inter-connected world abundant with secrets and environmental storytelling. - Encountering a varied cast of allies, hostile machines, and formidable bosses. - Uncovering the narrative behind the Vessel’s decline and MIO’s own origin story through environmental cues and emergent gameplay. Douze Dixièmes, an independent French studio, has earned recognition for their distinctive visual style and creative game design, as seen in their prior titles.

Published by Focus Entertainment, known for supporting innovative projects within the indie game space, MIO: Memories In Orbit marks their first collaboration targeted for release on Nintendo Switch. The game is scheduled for a digital release, with players able to purchase and download it directly from the Nintendo eShop when it launches globally in 2025.

This forthcoming title joins the growing roster of high-quality indie games debuting on the Nintendo Switch, further cementing the platform’s reputation for supporting creative and genre-defining experiences. Fans and newcomers alike can watch the newly released trailer to get a first glimpse of MIO: Memories In Orbit’s art direction, gameplay mechanics, and the enigmatic world they’ll explore come 2025.
