Operation Highjump: The Fall of Berlin, the action-packed platform-shooter from Mansion Games, has been officially confirmed for a physical release on Nintendo Switch, as announced by publishers Jandusoft and Tesura Games.
Marking a significant milestone for fans and collectors alike, this edition is slated to arrive in 2026, although the exact launch date is yet to be determined. Set against the dramatic backdrop of World War II’s final days, Operation Highjump: The Fall of Berlin thrusts players into a high-stakes mission to prevent the escape of enemy leaders and reclaim invaluable art and artifacts taken during the conflict.
The game’s campaign spans nine meticulously crafted missions, each brimming with destructible and interactive environments inspired by genuine historical references of the era. Jandusoft and Tesura Games are releasing the title in two unique physical editions.
The standard edition will feature the complete game, an instruction manual, and an exclusive reversible cover illustrated by renowned Spanish artist Alfonso Azpiri.
For dedicated fans, the deluxe collector’s edition includes a commemorative box, a detailed art book, a soundtrack CD composed by video game music legend Chris Huelsbeck, military-style dog tag identification plates, a prequel comic, and further exclusive artwork. The core gameplay of Operation Highjump: The Fall of Berlin masterfully blends run-and-gun action with platforming and video adventure elements, creating tactically rich and humor-infused missions.
Players will seize advanced prototypes and authentic weaponry, commandeer enemy vehicles, and take on strategic objectives across Berlin in their pursuit of justice.
The innovative mission design promises significant replay value, with a diverse range of enemies, environments, and ever-changing tactical scenarios. Throughout their journey, players are joined by the formidable Dogs of War squad, which includes characters such as Captain Hamilton, who pilots the devastating bomber Lady Hell, Ukrainian sniper Irina Pavlichenko, sabotage and communications expert Jean-Claude Kunda, and Colonel Barnsby, the strategic mastermind behind the operation.
Encounters with over 50 unique characters and vehicles, as well as eight intense boss battles, further enrich the game's dynamic narrative and challenge. Visually, the game stands out with its combination of pixel art, 2D illustrations, and fluid frame-by-frame animations.
Major story beats are conveyed through hand-drawn motion-comic styled cutscenes, deepening the immersive World War II storyline of secrets and commando exploits.
Complementing the visuals is an epic soundtrack by Chris Huelsbeck, celebrated for his work on classic titles like Turrican. Operation Highjump: The Fall of Berlin also appeals to completionists, with a wealth of collectibles, hidden easter eggs, medals, badges, and an integrated museum system where players can display their acquired relics and artworks.
The inclusion of unlockable classified documents adds further depth and replayability, encouraging thorough exploration and mastery of the game’s many challenges. With this anticipated physical release, Mansion Games, alongside Jandusoft and Tesura Games, continues to reinforce the Nintendo Switch’s reputation as a premier platform for retro-inspired and innovative action titles.
Fans of the genre and collectors can look forward to both the standard and deluxe editions appearing on shelves in 2026. Stay tuned to the Nintendo Direct and official eShop announcements for future updates and the finalized release date for Operation Highjump: The Fall of Berlin.
