Description

Red Art Games is set to expand its lineup of curated physical releases with the announcement of Bullet Hell Collection: Volume 2 for Nintendo Switch.

Scheduled for release on November 7, 2025, this highly anticipated compilation features three distinct shoot ‘em up titles—Red Death, Null Drifter, and Project Starship X—bundled together for the first time on a single cartridge.

This marks the debut of physical editions for all three games, offering collectors and fans a unique opportunity to own these celebrated titles outside of their digital eShop releases. Developed and published by Panda Indie Studio, Bullet Hell Collection: Volume 2 highlights the studio’s commitment to delivering inventive and challenging gameplay experiences.

All three games are interconnected within the "Project Starship" universe, each set during a different era in its Lovecraft-inspired narrative.

The collection’s release follows the positive reception of Bullet Hell Collection: Volume 1, further boosting Panda Indie Studio’s profile among genre enthusiasts. The titles included in the collection each bring unique gameplay to the Nintendo Switch platform: - **Red Death**: Serving as a prologue to the Project Starship saga, Red Death is a vertical shoot 'em up where players must navigate a deluge of on-screen projectiles while battling a formidable threat to Earth’s survival.

With classic arcade-style mechanics, players are tasked with saving humanity from an otherworldly calamity. - **Null Drifter**: This fast-paced, 1-BIT lo-fi twin-stick shooter challenges players to train as a space-fighter pilot within a mysterious computer simulation.

The minimalist visuals complement its rapid-fire gameplay, as users face down relentless waves of enemies in a hypnotic, action-heavy environment. - **Project Starship X**: Taking a rogue-lite approach to the bullet hell formula, Project Starship X lets players dive into chaotic encounters as Swagthulhu, featuring wild powerups, inventive cosmic comedy, and an irreverent Lovecraftian theme that sets it apart from traditional shooters. In an official statement, a spokesperson for Red Art Games described Bullet Hell Collection: Volume 2 as "a celebration of the creativity and diversity found in modern shoot ‘em ups, bringing together three standout titles from Panda Indie Studio in a physical format that fans have long been requesting." Pre-orders for Bullet Hell Collection: Volume 2 are now available through Red Art Games’ official channels.

With its November 7, 2025 release date, this collection will be a must-have for Nintendo Switch owners who appreciate indie innovations within the fast-paced, skill-focused bullet hell genre.
