Electric Saint and publisher Kinetic Publishing have confirmed Crescent County is in development for Nintendo Switch 2, with a digital release on the Nintendo eShop planned for Summer 2027.
The studio describes the project as a “cosy-with-bite slice-of-life” open-world game set on the crescent-shaped, magical Isle of Mor, combining daytime delivery work with nighttime street racing.
Set-up and creative intent
Crescent County casts players as Lu, a chaotic young adult who earns a living by delivering parcels on a motorbroom and competes in informal races against island friends after hours.
Electric Saint says the game blends small-town social dynamics with witch-tech aesthetics—developers have referenced inspirations like Kiki’s Delivery Service for its courier spirit and Akira for its high-energy bike racing, situating those influences on a rural, magical island.
Developer perspective
Electric Saint’s creative director Anna Hollinrake framed the title as an exploration of belonging.
She explained the project focuses on what it means to find home—mixing heart-pounding racing with local drama, friendship, and dating systems—and emphasized that motorbroom driving is designed for relaxed, social play rather than leaderboard competition.
Hollinrake also noted Crescent County has been a passion project since 2017, rooted in magical realism and her own lived experience, and that partnering with Kinetic Publishing is intended to help bring the world of Mor to players worldwide.
Key features (as outlined by the publisher)
- Motorbroom driving: Flow-state handling aimed at enjoyable deliveries and street races.
- Relationship building: Deep character interactions that reveal personal stories and island drama.
- Open world: A painterly, witch-tech Isle of Mor to explore.
- Customisation: Motorbroom upgrades for handling, delivery utility, and aesthetics.
Release and platform details
Kinetic Publishing confirmed Crescent County will launch digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide in Summer 2027.
No specific release date, price, or physical-edition details have been announced.
Further developer updates, trailers, or Nintendo Direct listings may follow as the project approaches its 2027 window.
Why it matters
Crescent County adds to a growing slate of indie projects targeting the Nintendo Switch 2’s digital storefront, highlighting continued developer interest in blending narrative-driven, social gameplay with relaxed driving mechanics.
With development spanning several years and a clear release window, Electric Saint and Kinetic Publishing have positioned Crescent County as a noteworthy indie title to watch for the Switch successor.
