Nine Sols, the critically acclaimed 2D action-platformer from Red Candle Games—the Taiwanese studio known for their award-winning title Detention—will soon be available in physical format on the Nintendo Switch.
This announcement comes directly from Fangamer, the respected company overseeing the production of the boxed edition, following the successful digital debut of Nine Sols on the Nintendo eShop in late 2024. Fans across North America and Europe can look forward to owning a physical copy, with Fangamer confirming release plans for both regions.
As of November 2025, pre-orders have officially opened through Fangamer's website, with a planned release window set for April 2026.
The physical launch is tailored for collectors and enthusiasts, offering two distinct editions.
The standard edition includes a 16-page instruction booklet and a set of two double-sided art cards, while a deluxe edition is also in development.
The deluxe package expands the offering with an exclusive 16-page epilogue comic, a commemorative physical coin, a double-sided 19" x 12" poster featuring a full map of the game’s intricate world, New Kunlun, and three collectible sticker sheets. Originally released on the Nintendo Switch in the previous year, Nine Sols has drawn attention for its lore-rich setting and innovative combat system.
The game immerses players in a 'Taopunk' universe—a unique blend of Eastern mythology and cyberpunk elements—where the vengeful protagonist, Yi, seeks to overcome the powerful rulers known as the 9 Sols.
Inspired by Sekiro’s deflection-based mechanics, Nine Sols delivers fast-paced, challenging encounters that demand mastery of precision strikes, parries, and advanced tactics rooted in martial arts and Taoist talismans. Red Candle Games’ dedication to craftsmanship shines through in the hand-drawn visuals, fluid animation, and immersive world-building.
Players traverse interconnected regions of New Kunlun, engaging with a host of non-playable characters who provide upgrades, abilities, and lore that further enrich the narrative experience.
Each boss encounter is meticulously designed, requiring smart strategy and refined skills to progress. The physical release of Nine Sols not only celebrates Red Candle Games’ accomplishment but also marks a growing trend of indie titles receiving collector-focused editions on the Nintendo Switch.
Fangamer’s attention to high-quality packaging ensures fans will receive an edition worthy of the game's critical reception.
For those seeking an in-depth, challenging action-platformer with distinctive artistic flair and narrative depth, the imminent arrival of Nine Sols’ physical edition stands as a notable milestone for both Red Candle Games and Nintendo Switch collectors.
Interested players can secure their edition now via Fangamer, with updates on shipping and availability provided directly through their official channels.
