Out Of Words Brings Handcrafted Co-Op Adventure to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026

Out Of Words, a visually striking cooperative platformer renowned for its hand-crafted stop-motion animation, is officially set to launch on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026.

This distinctive title is developed by Kong Orange, Wired Fly, and Morten Søndergaard, with publishing support from Epic Games.

The announcement marks another major indie addition to the anticipated Switch 2 library, further diversifying the console’s upcoming software lineup. First unveiled during Summer Game Fest in 2025, Out Of Words quickly garnered critical acclaim for its innovative approach and charming visual style.

The game's world—"the wild, colorful realm of Vokabulantis"—is entirely created using stop-motion techniques, resulting in a uniquely tactile sense of place that sets it apart from other co-op adventures. Players assume the roles of Kurt and Karla, two protagonists rendered without mouths, who must rely on teamwork and nonverbal communication to traverse a land where they've lost their voices.

The official description emphasizes the cooperative experience, stating: “Find your lost voices in a co-op platformer adventure.

Together with a friend, via online cross-platform or couch co-op, explore the wild, colorful realm of Vokabulantis as Kurt and Karla in a story about the first time they held hands — where everything you see is crafted by hand.” After a well-received debut demo at Summer Game Fest, Out Of Words has been lauded for its art direction, inventive puzzles, and heartfelt narrative.

The game offers both online cross-platform and local couch co-op, continuing the tradition of accessible multiplayer experiences established by titles like It Takes Two and Split Fiction.

With Kong Orange, Wired Fly, and Morten Søndergaard at the helm, the project benefits from a multidisciplinary team known for blending traditional artistry with interactive storytelling. Epic Games’ publishing involvement signals strong support for indie developers on next-generation Nintendo hardware.

Out Of Words is now confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2, joining a growing roster that also features major announcements such as Pragmata and Mega Man: Dual Override, the latter of which will be available on both the original Nintendo Switch and the new system.

The steady flow of high-profile and indie releases underscores Nintendo's continued commitment to delivering a diverse selection of titles for its expanding hardware family. With a release date targeted for 2026, Out Of Words stands as one of the most anticipated cooperative adventures coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, promising a blend of artistry, innovation, and emotional storytelling for players eager to experience something truly unique on the next generation of Nintendo hardware.
