Taito has confirmed that Psychic Force 2012 is in development for Nintendo Switch, with a release targeted for 2027.
The announcement, accompanied by an official trailer, positions the project as a revival of the arcade title first released in 1998.
No publisher or additional platform details beyond Nintendo Switch have been disclosed, and Taito has said a more specific release date will be provided later.
Background and context
Psychic Force 2012 began life as an arcade fighting game released in 1998.
The series is known for its distinctive combat, which places fighters in enclosed arenas and allows movement in all directions.
Taito — the company behind the original arcade entries — is attached to this new Switch version in the announcement.
What was announced
- Platform and timing: Psychic Force 2012 is confirmed for Nintendo Switch with a planned 2027 release window.
A firm calendar date has not yet been announced.
- Media: Taito published an announcement trailer alongside the reveal.
The trailer is the sole piece of new media distributed with the announcement; no gameplay specifics, system requirements, or edition details were included.
Rewritten statements for clarity
Taito described Psychic Force 2012 as a “360-degree all-range fighting game” in its announcement materials.
In journalistic terms, that means the series’ combat is built around free movement and combat across full 3D arenas rather than fixed 2D planes.
On timing, the company noted that the title is slated for 2027 and that a precise release date will follow when development milestones are met.
Verified facts you can rely on
- Psychic Force 2012 originally debuted as an arcade title in 1998.
- The new version has been officially announced for Nintendo Switch with a 2027 target year.
- An official announcement trailer has been released by the rights holder.
What’s next
Taito and Nintendo will likely supply additional details — platform availability, editions, pricing, and potential eShop listing information — in future promotional windows.
For now, the announcement marks a confirmed Switch revival of a late-90s arcade fighter and is an item to watch for Switch players and fans of Taito’s arcade catalog.
We will update coverage when Taito releases further information, including a specific release date or additional gameplay details.
