Old Skies Release Date Confirmed for Nintendo Switch: Wadjet Eye Games Brings Time-Travel Adventure to eShop

Wadjet Eye Games, acclaimed for their narrative-driven adventures, has officially announced that Old Skies—its highly anticipated point-and-click adventure—will be launching on the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop on May 27, 2025.

This marks another significant release for the independent developer, celebrated for games like the Blackwell series and Unavowed, as it continues to make its mark on Nintendo’s popular hybrid console.

Old Skies places players in the role of Fia Quinn, a time agent working for the ChronoZen agency.

Tasked with escorting a diverse set of seven clients through different eras of history, Fia’s mission is to ensure each traveler’s experience is both enlightening and safe, while maintaining strict adherence to the rules of time travel.

Each character’s motivations range from simple curiosity to resolving personal matters from the past.

As a time agent, players must balance these desires with the need to prevent historical distortions, creating a narrative rich with tension and intrigue.

Key features highlighted by Wadjet Eye Games for Old Skies include a broad scope of time periods to explore.

Players will journey through seven historic eras, from the lively speakeasies of Prohibition-era America to the turbulent days of the Gilded Age, even witnessing significant moments such as the morning of September 11th.

The game’s visuals are a notable leap over the studio’s previous work, featuring full 1920 x 1080 high-resolution graphics—three times sharper than those seen in Unavowed.

Puzzle-solving remains at the heart of the experience, with a clever twist: temporal logic forms the basis of many of the challenges players will face.

Unique to Old Skies, failure is not the end.

Characters can die during their adventures, but the mechanics of time travel allow for repeated attempts, offering new possibilities to approach obstacles with each retry.

Complementing the engaging gameplay is an original musical score composed by Thomas Regin, best known to fans for his work on Unavowed and the Blackwell series.

Old Skies will also feature the developer’s largest cast to date, delivering the story with full voice acting for all characters.

Fans and newcomers to Wadjet Eye Games alike can look forward to experiencing Old Skies when it debuts digitally via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on May 27, 2025.

With its strong blend of historical immersion, intricate storytelling, and innovative gameplay, Old Skies is set to become a notable addition to the eShop’s adventure catalog.
