Description

Polish indie studio Corpix Games, in collaboration with publishers Wildlands Interactive and Ultimate Games SA, has officially announced that Riot Control Simulator is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2.

The highly realistic simulator, which places players in the role of law enforcement officers challenged to manage escalating street protests, is slated for release on Nintendo’s next-generation hardware in 2026. Riot Control Simulator has previously garnered attention on other platforms for its grounded approach to simulation gameplay, and its arrival on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 marks an important expansion for Corpix Games.

The story-driven campaign immerses players into a tense urban environment where societal order teeters on the edge, and the protagonist must navigate moral gray areas while fulfilling duties to maintain public safety. "Your daily responsibility is to ensure the safety of the city’s residents, even as civil unrest grows.

With the nation facing increasing turmoil, widespread protests erupt in every major city," the developers have outlined.

"Though the country shifts toward more authoritarian controls, legal duties remain the focus, compelling players to make hard decisions as unrest intensifies." Riot Control Simulator's core gameplay revolves around tactical crowd control, requiring players to carefully calibrate their approach.

Excessive force can result in further resistance, with threats ranging from thrown objects to Molotov cocktails.

Law enforcement resources at the player’s disposal include protective shields and helmets, heavy vehicles, and crowd-suppression gear like water cannons.

Strategic options extend to using tight formations, arresting agitators, and even deploying undercover officers to infiltrate and identify protest leaders. The game features a range of urban environments, challenging players to adapt strategies to various city layouts and protest intensities.

Notably, Riot Control Simulator introduces a layer of ethical complexity: Will the player serve as a tool for the government’s will, or seek their own path of justice in a climate of mounting tension and unrest? Key features confirmed by Corpix Games include multiple city locations, a broad arsenal of riot control equipment, management of heavy machinery, and a strong focus on player-driven moral choices.

Formation tactics and the ability to utilize or mitigate crowd momentum add both strategic depth and replay value. Riot Control Simulator is projected for a 2026 release window on Nintendo Switch 2, expanding the console’s growing library of immersive simulation experiences.

For ongoing Nintendo Switch 2 announcements and updates on forthcoming eShop titles, fans and industry followers should stay tuned to official sources for confirmed news and launch details.
