Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter Launches January 2025 on Nintendo Switch eShop

Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter is set to make its highly anticipated debut on the Nintendo Switch eShop on January 28, 2025.

Developed by Odd Bug Studio, the sequel builds upon the acclaimed action RPG formula of its 2021 predecessor, Tails of Iron, delivering an even richer blend of challenging combat, hand-drawn visuals, and immersive storytelling. Ahead of its launch, a new trailer has been released, showcasing the title's distinct 2D art style and a wealth of intense gameplay moments.

The trailer also spotlights the return of celebrated narrator Doug Cockle, recognized for his roles in games such as The Witcher III, Alan Wake 2, and Baldur’s Gate 3.

Cockle’s powerful performance is expected to further elevate the game’s narrative depth and atmosphere. Players will be able to choose between a standard digital edition and a deluxe edition of Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter.

The deluxe edition stands out by offering two exclusive cosmetic DLC packs: the ‘Augur of the Draugr’ set and the ‘Hair to the Throne’ pack, enabling further customization and personalization as players traverse the game’s frosty landscapes. Key features highlight an expansive wintry kingdom, set in the northern reaches of the Ratdom.

Guided by Doug Cockle’s narration, players must explore varied biomes, each teetering on the brink of conflict.

The gameplay includes tracking and conquering fifteen legendary beasts that prowl the land’s frontier.

Victories against these formidable opponents reward the player with rare resources used to craft powerful equipment—challenges that promise to test even seasoned action RPG fans. Combat in Tails of Iron 2 is strategically deep, with players able to wield blades, spears, and ranged weaponry such as bolts and arrows, while strategically placing elemental traps to overcome waves of enemy Dark Wings.

A new gameplay mechanic allows adventurers to harness the mythical powers of four deities, unleashing Elementa spells imbued with fire, poison, ice, or electricity upon their enemies.

The game also offers adjustable difficulty, ensuring accessibility for a broad range of players. Base building receives a notable upgrade in this sequel, with the fortress of Winter’s Edge now offering greater opportunities for reconstruction and customization.

Enhanced smithy services, improved meal recipes, and a broader array of traps are available as players restore their ruined stronghold. Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter launches for Nintendo Switch exclusively via the eShop on January 28, 2025.

Odd Bug Studio continues its tradition of challenging, story-driven action RPG experiences, and with Doug Cockle’s signature narration, the stage is set for another standout adventure on Switch.

For fans of the original and newcomers eager for a rich, hand-animated RPG, this release is one to watch in the Nintendo Switch calendar.
