Devolver Digital and French indie developer Pastagames have officially announced the impending arrival of KarmaZoo on the Nintendo Switch, with a digital release scheduled for 2023 via the Nintendo eShop.
Renowned for delivering unique indie experiences, Devolver Digital continues its successful run with this new multiplayer platformer designed to foster teamwork and positive player interactions on Nintendo's popular hybrid console. KarmaZoo is positioned as a "chaotic, joyful multiplayer platformer" where up to 10 players are encouraged to connect, cooperate, and embrace a spirit of camaraderie.
Players step into the roles of one of 50 charming, pixel-art animal avatars, each with its own special abilities.
Success in KarmaZoo hinges on teamwork: players must leverage each character's unique skills to help their group progress, sometimes even making selfless sacrifices for the greater good, all with the aim of collecting in-game Karma. The gameplay is structured around two main modes.
In the cooperative Loop mode, users team up—either with existing friends or with new teammates met through cross-platform multiplayer—to take on levels that scale dynamically according to team size and chosen characters.
As players advance, the challenges grow, promoting both communication and coordination in an ever-evolving environment.
For those seeking a competitive edge, KarmaZoo also offers Totem mode.
Here, up to eight players can face off in a series of hectic, fast-paced minigames, adding a lively adversarial dimension to the platforming experience.
Both modes are engineered to make the most of the Switch’s multiplayer capabilities, whether played online or locally. According to a statement from the development team, KarmaZoo aims to "encourage connection, cooperation, and generally just being a cool, nice person," underlining the studio's philosophy of designing games that bring people together in positive ways. KarmaZoo will be available exclusively as a digital download through the Nintendo eShop, continuing Devolver Digital’s tradition of supporting innovative indie releases on the Nintendo Switch platform.
With its accessible multiplayer focus, cross-platform support, and playful approach to social gaming, KarmaZoo is set to be a notable addition to the Switch’s expansive library when it launches worldwide in 2023. For more updates on KarmaZoo and the latest Nintendo Switch releases, stay tuned to regular Nintendo Direct broadcasts and check the Nintendo eShop for ongoing release details.
