DevilishGames, the acclaimed Spanish indie developer, has officially announced that their imaginative paper-crafted city builder, Cutout Village, is in development for Nintendo Switch with a global digital launch set for Q3 2026 on the Nintendo eShop.
Reimagining the city-building genre with a creative twist, Cutout Village invites players to return to an abandoned childhood village after inheriting a long-forgotten family home.
The game encourages players to revive the cherished setting by restoring buildings, rebuilding community spaces, and expanding the population—combining nostalgia with innovative mechanics inspired by traditional arts and crafts. Drawing from the vibrant aesthetics of watercolour painting and the beloved paper crafts and cut-out book trends of the 1960s, Cutout Village offers players a fresh approach to city management.
Gameplay mechanics focus on interactive processes like cutting, folding, and glueing collectible sheets to unlock new service levels and amenities.
These straightforward yet distinctive tasks provide an accessible and engaging experience suitable for both new and veteran city-building enthusiasts. According to DevilishGames, players can explore two core modes within Cutout Village.
Story Mode follows the personal journey of restoring a once-flourishing village, while Free Mode empowers creativity by allowing players to design and expand their own village without constraints.
The Free Mode boasts a diverse selection, featuring over 50 different structures—including residential buildings, street furniture, and various trees—offering plenty of options to customize and reshape each village according to personal taste. Cutout Village continues DevilishGames' tradition of delivering visually inventive and accessible titles, further establishing their reputation within the indie development community.
The game will be available exclusively through the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch when it launches worldwide in the third quarter of 2026. With its captivating art direction, innovative gameplay rooted in classic pastimes, and expansive creative tools, Cutout Village is poised to be a standout entry on the Nintendo Switch indie lineup.
Stay tuned for further updates and trailers as DevilishGames prepares to unfold this uniquely charming city-building adventure for the global Switch community.
