Neverway, the highly anticipated debut title from Coldblood Inc., is officially heading to Nintendo Switch in 2026.
Introduced during the latest Indie World Showcase, this innovative title fuses the elements of a farming simulation with horror and action RPG mechanics, marking a standout addition to the Nintendo eShop’s future indie lineup.
Coldblood Inc.
was established by the renowned pixel artist responsible for the celebrated visuals in Celeste and TowerFall, two of the most influential indie games of the past decade.
Neverway marks the studio’s first major project, showcasing the developer’s expertise and commitment to crafting memorable experiences.
Set on an isolated island, Neverway follows Fiona, a protagonist who leaves her routine life behind to become a farmer.
However, Fiona soon finds herself entwined in dark, supernatural events—becoming the immortal herald of a dead god in the process.
This twist sets Neverway apart from conventional life sims, establishing a narrative blend of peaceful farming and eerie, otherworldly threats.
Players can expect traditional farming and fishing mechanics typically found in the genre, but with a unique twist.
Life on the island is rich with opportunities for connection; Fiona can build relationships with the island’s diverse residents, forging friendships—or even romances.
Each relationship yields substantial in-game benefits, such as new buffs or enhanced combat abilities, deepening both the narrative and gameplay experience.
Neverway’s action RPG component is central to its intrigue.
Players journey into the titular Neverway, an alternate and menacing reality that poses a threat to Fiona’s world.
This dynamic gameplay loop is complemented by visually stunning environments, each rendered in striking, color-coded palettes of muted blues, greens, reds, and purples.
The game also features animated cutscenes that further immerse players in its haunting atmosphere.
Adding to Neverway’s allure, the soundtrack is composed by Disasterpeace, known for his acclaimed work on Hyper Light Drifter.
His compositions promise to intensify the game’s mood, offering a smooth, evocative score that reinforces the game’s distinctive charm.
Slated for a Nintendo Switch release in 2026, Neverway is poised to captivate players seeking a blend of inventive storytelling, atmospheric visuals, and unique genre fusion.
As horror-inspired farming sims capture the imagination of the indie scene, Coldblood Inc.'s debut is already generating significant excitement within the Nintendo community.
Stay tuned for further updates as the launch window approaches.
