Nordic Ashes: Ultimate Edition Brings Norse Roguelite Action to Nintendo Switch in June 2024

Nordic Ashes: Ultimate Edition is officially making its debut on the Nintendo Switch, with developer Noxfall Studios confirming a digital launch slated for June 2024.

Fans of roguelite-survivor games can look forward to the game's highly anticipated arrival on the Nintendo eShop, with a complete physical edition scheduled for release in 2025. Originally released for PC, Nordic Ashes: Survivors of Ragnarok immerses players in a Norse mythology-inspired world, challenging them to take on relentless hordes of enemies.

Players navigate intense battles, harnessing a variety of weapons and abilities, and continually upgrading their characters through unique Constellation Ability Trees—a system designed to customize stats and powers as the game progresses.

As stated by Noxfall Studios, players must "equip themselves with powerful relics and eliminate enemies before being overwhelmed." The core narrative is deeply anchored in Norse legend, unfolding during Ragnarok, the cataclysmic event that sees Yggdrasil—the Tree of Life—drained of its strength to preserve the Nine Realms.

With the world on the brink, only select heroes can survive.

Players can choose from a diverse roster that includes Axeldör, the enduring Viking warrior; Thyra, a formidable ranger; Hafgrim, the elemental master; and an array of other uniquely skilled survivors. Nordic Ashes: Ultimate Edition offers a comprehensive set of features, ensuring high replay value and rich gameplay depth: - Explore 9 distinct maps inspired by the nine realms of Norse mythology - Select from over 10 playable characters, each with exclusive weapons and abilities - Advance through character-specific Constellation skill trees and unlock upgrades via Yggdrasil as a meta-progress system - Master five engaging game modes, including Adventure, Ragnarok, Daily Challenge, Custom, and Nightmare - Discover alternative character skins, powerful relic ascensions, and a wide assortment of shrines, secrets, and achievements (over 150 relics and achievements) - Encounter formidable elites and uniquely-behaved bosses throughout varied environments The Ultimate Edition for Nintendo Switch incorporates the full base game, the Remnants of Corruption DLC, and the Dark Knights skin pack as part of the standard digital offering.

Collectors can look forward to a physical edition as well as a limited collector’s box set in 2025, which includes exclusive extras such as an artbook and soundtrack.

Both versions ensure that fans receive the complete Nordic Ashes experience, tailored for Nintendo’s hybrid platform. With a proven track record in the indie roguelite genre, Noxfall Studios has continually expanded Nordic Ashes since its initial launch, building a dedicated player base with ongoing updates and content.

Now, by bringing Nordic Ashes: Ultimate Edition to Nintendo Switch, the studio is set to bring its acclaimed mix of Norse lore, frenetic action, and deep customization to one of gaming’s most versatile platforms.
