Publisher Devolver Digital and developer Heart Machine have confirmed that Possessor(s) will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 on April 29.
The announcement positions the title as a day-one console release for Nintendo’s next hardware, accompanied by a new trailer released by the developer to mark the Switch 2 reveal.
Possessor(s) is a side-scrolling action-adventure that blends fast-paced combat with Metroidvania-style exploration.
Heart Machine, the studio behind Hyper Light Drifter and Solar Ash, describes the game as combining platform-fighter-inspired combat with a sprawling, interconnected world.
The title centers on Luca, a high-schooler trapped in the ruined metropolis of Sanzu City, who forms a survival pact with Rhem, a newly freed demon in need of a host.
Together they navigate collapsed skyscrapers, an abandoned aquarium, and other districts filled with secrets and hostile forces.
Gameplay emphasizes tight movement and precision engagement.
Players will balance ground and aerial attacks, execute juggling combos, and employ improvised weapons such as kitchen knives, a guitar, and a computer mouse.
The game’s structure encourages exploration and multiple paths through an open-ended map, unlocking skills and upgrades that grant access to previously inaccessible areas.
Heart Machine has highlighted the narrative focus on themes such as codependency, loss, and survival as Luca searches for her mother and best friend amid the catastrophe.
Key features highlighted by the developer include haunting 3D environments topped with hand-drawn animated characters, a complex narrative with branching routes and character-driven encounters, and high-skill combat that rewards precision and improvisation.
The studio emphasizes the hybrid of platform fighting mechanics and Metroidvania exploration as central to the player experience.
The April 29 launch on Nintendo Switch 2 will be the first time Possessor(s) appears on Nintendo hardware; Devolver Digital will handle publishing responsibilities.
Heart Machine’s prior successes with Hyper Light Drifter and Solar Ash give the studio a notable indie pedigree heading into this release.
A new trailer accompanies the platform announcement and showcases combat, environments, and story beats ahead of launch.
Players interested in Nintendo Switch 2 coverage should look to official Nintendo channels and publisher updates for additional details about availability and platform support.
