NIS America, in partnership with Japanese developer Happinet, has officially announced the development of Brigandine: Abyss for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
Scheduled for release worldwide in 2026, the game is set to debut exclusively as a digital download via the Nintendo eShop, further strengthening the Nintendo Switch 2’s lineup of tactical RPG experiences. Brigandine: Abyss continues the beloved tradition of the Brigandine series, faithfully retaining the deep, hexagonal grid-based tactical combat that fans expect.
Building on the series’ established reputation for involving resource management and strategic maneuvering, players will find themselves navigating a richly detailed world map before zooming in to command units through intricate battles.
Every decision counts, and careful planning will be critical to surviving the many challenges that unfold across the continent of Meltitea. In a departure from its predecessors, Brigandine: Abyss introduces six all-new story campaigns, allowing players to explore the game’s expansive setting from multiple perspectives.
In addition to the main campaigns, the newly revealed Mission Mode offers unprecedented flexibility, granting players control over any of the 24 diverse nations.
Whether seeking to test tactical skills against challenging scenarios or preferring a more relaxed and exploratory playstyle, Brigandine: Abyss aims to provide routes suited for every type of strategy fan. Highlighting the game’s narrative depth, Chizuru Yonezawa, promotion team manager at Happinet, outlined the story's scope in an official statement: The game tells the tale of a formidable empire bent on the conquest of the continent and the intertwining fates of six protagonists who rise to confront this looming threat.
Players step into the role of a chosen faction’s leader, steering the course of events that will ultimately shape the future of Meltitea.
Building and commanding monster armies becomes a key element, with each campaign featuring unique twists, trials, and strategic decisions that will test players at every turn. With its 2026 release confirmed, Brigandine: Abyss stands poised to deliver a complex and rewarding tactical RPG experience on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Backed by the expertise of NIS America and Happinet, the game continues the legacy of the Brigandine franchise while embracing the advanced hardware and digital capabilities of Nintendo’s next-generation console.
Fans can look forward to more details and gameplay previews as the launch date approaches, offering another compelling reason to keep an eye on Nintendo Switch 2’s expanding games library.
