R.E.P.O. — the indie co-op horror game that gained rapid popularity among Discord groups and Twitch streamers after its PC launch last year — is officially coming to Nintendo Switch 2, developer Semiwork Studios has confirmed.
While the studio has not provided a firm release date, it said the team is working toward a Nintendo eShop release sometime in 2027.
Background and context
R.E.P.O. launched on PC last year and quickly found an audience in online social spaces, attracting streamers and small communities with its cooperative horror mechanics and emergent multiplayer moments.
The game's PC debut and subsequent visibility on platforms like Twitch and Discord helped turn it into a talking point among indie horror fans and content creators.
Developer announcement
In its public update, Semiwork Studios communicated that a Switch 2 port is in active development and that the studio aims to publish the title on Nintendo's digital storefront in 2027.
The developer reiterated that no specific day or month has been locked in, and more details will be shared as the port progresses toward completion.
Rewritten statement for clarity
Semiwork Studios said it is actively developing a version of R.E.P.O. for Nintendo Switch 2 and targeting an eShop release in 2027, but the studio emphasized that a precise release date has not yet been announced.
Why the Switch 2 port matters
A Switch 2 release would broaden R.E.P.O.'s platform reach beyond its initial PC audience and place the game on Nintendo's next-generation hardware and eShop ecosystem.
For indie developers, a native presence on Nintendo platforms can increase discoverability through featured spots on the eShop and exposure via Nintendo-focused coverage.
