Nintendo Switch players can look forward to an innovative, hand-crafted adventure with the upcoming release of Out of Words, slated to launch in 2026.
Announced by developers Kong Orange and WiredFly, Out of Words is a cooperative platformer that invites two players to embark on an emotional journey through the enchanting and meticulously created world of Vokabulantis, all rendered in a unique stop-motion style. Developed collaboratively by Danish studio Kong Orange and indie developer WiredFly, Out of Words combines the narrative flair of acclaimed poet Morten Søndergaard with the meticulous craftsmanship of artists, programmers, and poets.
Every character, environment, and gameplay mechanic in Out of Words has been designed to convey a distinctly human story, utilizing physical models and hand-crafted art to bring the universe of Vokabulantis to life. Cooperation and communication are at the heart of Out of Words.
Players take on the roles of Kurt and Karla, two protagonists whose adventure begins with a significant moment — the first time they hold hands.
Whether playing online thanks to cross-platform capabilities or locally via couch co-op on Nintendo Switch, teams will explore vibrant settings teeming with creativity.
From the ancient catacombs brimming with physics-driven puzzles to the daring clay skyscrapers dotting the cityscape of Nounberg, teamwork is essential to overcome challenges, perfect timing, and progression. The game’s developers emphasize that Out of Words is more than just a platformer; it is a voyage of emotional discovery centered on friendship and first love, all set against a backdrop where the world and relationships are at stake.
As Kurt and Karla traverse Vokabulantis, their bond is tested by both wonders and dangers that demand true partnership. Kong Orange and WiredFly have a track record of innovative indie titles, and Out of Words continues their commitment to boundary-pushing design and narrative.
The collaborative input of Morten Søndergaard, celebrated for his poetic contributions, ensures that the game’s writing and themes have depth rarely seen in the genre. Set for release in 2026 exclusively on the Nintendo Switch, Out of Words will be available through the Nintendo eShop.
Players can expect further details in upcoming Nintendo Direct presentations, where additional highlights on gameplay mechanics and story elements may be announced. With its unique artistic direction and emphasis on cooperative gameplay, Out of Words positions itself as a standout addition to the Nintendo Switch library, appealing to fans of creative storytelling, platformers, and distinctive visual styles.
