EP Games has officially released Oppidum, a story-driven survival adventure, for the Nintendo Switch.
Celebrating its arrival, the publisher has unveiled a launch trailer highlighting the game’s key features and atmospheric setting.
Previously recognized for blending engaging narratives with robust gameplay systems, EP Games brings their expertise to Oppidum—a title designed for both solo players and cooperative squads. Oppidum tasks 1–4 players with the challenge of surviving on the corrupted island of Insule, a land once rich in beauty and magic but now beset by darkness and dangerous creatures.
Players must construct their camps, gather resources, craft equipment, and uncover the mysteries shrouding the island.
Cooperation is encouraged, though the game offers a full experience to solo adventurers.
The game's launch marks its worldwide digital availability via the Nintendo eShop as of this week. According to information released by EP Games, Oppidum’s gameplay revolves around combining survival mechanics with narrative depth.
Players can craft tools, upgrade weapons, build structures, tend to crops and animals, and cook nourishing meals.
Each interaction with the island's inhabitants—both friendly and hostile—offers opportunities for progression and unlocks new blueprints or customizations.
Choices and actions directly influence the shared world, whether playing alone or with others via unique cross-play features. EP Games emphasizes accessibility and replayability in Oppidum.
Adaptive difficulty settings allow players to tailor the challenge to their preference, offering modes such as Relaxed (where death is disabled), Smooth (where enemy damage is reduced), the developer-intended 'As Designed' balance, and a Hardcore mode for those seeking increased difficulty.
A range of accessibility options—including customizable quest tracker visibility, resource multipliers, and simplified mechanics—ensures that the experience is welcoming for newcomers and veterans alike. Character customization plays a significant role, giving players the freedom to choose appearance aspects such as hairstyle, body shape, cosmetics, voice, and more.
Multiplayer functionality stands out as a highlight; players can join ongoing games at any point, with progress persistently shared.
This flexibility promotes an evolving, collaborative gameplay journey that adapts to each participant’s engagement. With over 40 hours of content and an emphasis on player-driven adventure, Oppidum sets itself apart in the survival game landscape for Nintendo Switch.
The title’s combination of narrative, cooperative play, and customization aligns with Nintendo’s enduring commitment to diverse, high-quality experiences on the platform. Oppidum is now available as a digital download exclusively from the Nintendo eShop.
