Team17 and indie developer Wych Elm have announced a firm release date for Silver Pines on Nintendo Switch.
The publisher confirmed the survival-horror title will launch digitally on the Nintendo eShop worldwide on 8 October 2026, accompanied by an announcement trailer and an overview of the game’s core systems.
Silver Pines places players in the shoes of private investigator Red Walker, who wakes in the eerie, ostensibly abandoned American town of Silver Pines.
A mysterious phone call directs Walker to locate a vanished musician named Eddie Velvet, and that investigation drives the narrative as fragments of the town’s dark past surface.
The publisher described the game as an “atmospheric and haunting journey,” positioning it as a modern take on classic survival-horror.
Publisher Team17 — known for long-running franchises such as Worms and for supporting indie projects — is handling Silver Pines’ distribution.
Wych Elm is credited as the developer.
The announcement materials outline a blend of survival-horror mechanics with Metroidvania-style navigation, presented from a 2.5D perspective.
Players will be expected to scavenge limited resources, manage inventory space carefully, and navigate locked doors and hidden paths to uncover clues and progress.
Key features published by Team17 and Wych Elm include:
- A tension-driven survival-horror experience built around atmosphere and dread.
- 2.5D perspective with Metroidvania navigation, where exploration reveals resources, puzzles and narrative beats.
- Resource and inventory management that makes every bullet, medicine bottle and upgrade count.
- Visceral, grounded combat and evasion against the town’s terrors to keep encounters tense.
- Distinctive visuals using hand-painted, rotoscoped animations paired with a neo-noir aesthetic.
- Interactions with a suspicious cast of townsfolk who hold secrets relevant to the investigation.
The publisher’s feature list emphasizes both investigative storytelling and survival gameplay, with an emphasis on scarcity and environmental puzzle solving.
Silver Pines’ digital release on the Nintendo eShop on 8 October 2026 places it on the Switch platform alongside a steady pipeline of indie horror and atmospheric titles.
For players tracking Switch releases and survival-horror entries, Silver Pines now has a confirmed launch window and an official presence on Nintendo’s digital storefront.
