Epic Games, in partnership with developers Kong Orange and Wired Fly, has officially unveiled Out of Words—a uniquely crafted co-op platforming adventure coming to Nintendo Switch 2.
Set for a worldwide digital launch on the Nintendo eShop in 2026, the game weaves together artistry, storytelling, and innovative gameplay to deliver a memorable experience to Nintendo fans. Building upon the creative legacy of its developer teams, Out of Words invites players to embark on a journey through the vibrant, handcrafted world of Vokabulantis.
The game has been developed by a multidisciplinary team combining the talents of programmers, puppet masters, and poets.
Notably, acclaimed poet Morten Søndergaard has contributed his vision to the project, ensuring a narrative with a deeply human core.
Each character and environment has been meticulously designed using stop-motion techniques, giving every element a tangible, tactile quality rarely seen in modern video games. Out of Words is designed around cooperative play, supporting both local and online cross-platform modes.
Players team up as Kurt and Karla, two young protagonists navigating ancient catacombs, scaling the imaginative clay skyscrapers of Nounberg, and overcoming physics-bending puzzles.
The gameplay emphasizes communication and synchronicity, as players must coordinate their actions to progress through challenges and solve environmental puzzles. At the heart of Out of Words lies a compelling story about discovery, vulnerability, and connection.
The narrative explores the moment Kurt and Karla first hold hands—a pivotal event that puts not just their budding friendship but the entire world of Vokabulantis at risk.
Players traverse breathtaking handmade landscapes and confront the emotional stakes of their journey, as both the fate of Vokabulantis and the future of Kurt and Karla's relationship hang in the balance. In an official release, the publishers described their approach: the development team, consisting of poets, designers, and programmers, has "carefully constructed each stop-motion character, environment, and co-op mechanic to tell a story with a distinctly human touch." Out of Words will be available worldwide as a digital release on the Nintendo Switch 2 via Nintendo eShop in 2026.
With support for both local and online cross-platform multiplayer, this handcrafted co-op adventure is set to become a highlight for fans of narrative-driven platformers and those seeking innovative experiences on Nintendo's next-generation hardware. Stay tuned for further updates and official trailers as the release of Out of Words approaches, and follow the game’s development through announcements from Epic Games, Kong Orange, and Wired Fly.
