NIS America and Happinet have officially announced Brigandine: Abyss, the latest chapter in the acclaimed Brigandine franchise, slated for release on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026.
This new strategy RPG brings the classic tactical gameplay that fans know and love, while introducing a wholly original world and fresh mechanics for both newcomers and series veterans to experience. Brigandine: Abyss is being developed in close collaboration between NIS America and Happinet, combining expertise in creative storytelling and deep, tactical gameplay.
The game transports players to a richly detailed universe, where the long-dormant Abyssloa Empire rises anew—threatening to plunge the world into chaos once again.
Drawing from the official press release, players are challenged to manage resources, command monsters, and resist the Empire’s aggressive expansion through a selection of six distinct story campaigns. In keeping with Brigandine tradition, strategy enthusiasts can look forward to the return of the beloved hexagonal-grid-based combat system.
Gameplay divides into two core phases: the Organization Phase, which tasks players with managing troops and gathering resources, and the Attack Phase, where armies take to the battlefield.
Tactical depth remains at the forefront, as players must carefully balance skill usage, elemental affinities, and the ongoing progression of their units in order to secure victory. For those seeking even richer replayability, Brigandine: Abyss introduces Mission Mode.
This feature offers fans a chance to take command of one of 24 unique factions, each with its own special win conditions, allowing for endless strategic permutations and playthroughs.
The mode’s variety promises both veterans and newcomers hundreds of hours of tactical enjoyment. Commenting on the project, representatives from NIS America reiterated the franchise’s commitment to delivering engaging strategy RPG experiences, stating that Brigandine: Abyss was designed to cater to both longtime followers and those new to the series.
The partnership with Happinet brings together two powerhouses in Japanese game development, ensuring the delivery of a polished, immersive title for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 platform. Brigandine: Abyss is scheduled to launch worldwide in 2026, continuing the legacy of a respected RPG series that began in 1998.
Stay tuned for more updates as NIS America and Happinet reveal additional details, including gameplay previews and an official release date, in the months ahead.
