Pampas & Selene Nintendo Switch Physical Release Confirmed for Summer 2024

Pampas & Selene, the celebrated retro-inspired Metroidvania, is set to receive a highly anticipated physical release on Nintendo Switch this summer. Developed by Unepic and published in partnership with Tesura Games, the physical edition follows the game's successful digital launch on the Nintendo eShop in December 2024. This new release is tailored for collectors and fans eager to own a tangible piece of the adventure. Both a standard and a collector’s edition of Pampas & Selene: The Maze of Demons will be available. The standard edition provides collectible packaging with reversible cover art, an instruction booklet, and a mini ghost as a downloadable voucher code. The collector's edition expands on this, including a special presentation box, a limited acrylic standee, a two-disc original soundtrack, and a prologue manga—highlights sure to appeal to long-time fans and physical game enthusiasts alike. Reflecting on the partnership, Tesura Games commented that working with Unepic on this physical release allows them to bring together premium packaging and exclusive content that underscores the passion of the game’s community. Originally debuting on the Nintendo eShop, Pampas & Selene quickly attracted praise for its engaging gameplay and distinctive cooperative mechanics. The title draws inspiration from classic 8-bit Metroidvanias, combining nostalgia with innovative features. Players can alternate between the two titular heroes—Pampas and Selene—each with unique abilities essential for solving environmental puzzles, battling monsters, and collecting powerful artifacts throughout a sprawling castle filled with more than 200 rooms and myriad secrets. Local co-op play remains a cornerstone of Pampas & Selene. The game enables two players to independently explore the castle, share their perspectives, and teleport between each other, ensuring fluid collaboration and dynamic exploration. As players progress, they gain the ability to interact with Greek gods at sacred shrines, secure legendary artifacts, and harness enemy souls using the unique Soul Gem system to unleash devastating attacks. A key selling point for die-hard fans is the game’s extensive item collection. With over 40 items to discover and a wide range of hidden challenges across ten uniquely themed demon realms, Pampas & Selene promises both replayability and depth for Metroidvania aficionados. The upcoming physical release solidifies Unepic and Tesura’s commitment to providing rich, tangible editions that honor fan dedication. The physical versions of Pampas & Selene for Nintendo Switch are scheduled for a summer 2024 release. Both editions will be available from select retailers and via Tesura’s online storefront. With robust content and nostalgic appeal, Pampas & Selene stands as a must-have addition to any Nintendo Switch collection.
