Akupara Games and Joe Richardson Games have officially announced The Immortal John Triptych, a remastered anthology of Joe Richardson’s celebrated point-and-click trilogy.
The collection—bringing Four Last Things, The Procession to Calvary, and Death of the Reprobate together—is scheduled to arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch later in 2026, with a PC release and DLC options confirmed via Steam.
Overview
The Immortal John Triptych packages the three standalone adventures into a single, unified release with a suite of quality-of-life improvements, controller support, and never-before-seen bonus content.
The announcement confirms a free quality-of-life update will be released for the existing PC versions, and owners who already have any of the three titles will see them playable and unlockable inside the Triptych after purchase.
PC players are also offered a separate DLC titled “The Immortal John Triptych: Weird Extra Content Art Gallery DLC Thing-y” on Steam.
Verified details and critical reception
Joe Richardson’s trilogy has garnered positive critical response: the series holds Metacritic scores reported at 83, 78, and 81 across the three titles, and all three entries maintain Overwhelmingly Positive user ratings on Steam.
The Triptych release promises a unified user interface overhaul, deleted and bonus scenes, a modernized interaction system, drag-and-drop inventory, and a refreshed presentation across all games.
Design, audio and art
The games are notable for their collage-style visuals drawn from Renaissance, Rococo and related classical paintings, combined into a consistent in-game world.
The anthology will retain the original musical approach—mixing public-domain classical pieces with new compositions by Eduardo Antonello—performed on period-appropriate instruments.
Developer comment (paraphrased)
Joe Richardson summed up the project by noting that playing a traditional point-and-click adventure on modern consoles feels intentionally incongruous—like reading Rabelais on an e-reader—but that the oddness is part of the appeal and that players should expect to enjoy the experience.
What to expect
The Immortal John Triptych is positioned as the definitive Joe Richardson experience, offering remasters of all three titles with added scenes, improved controls and parity between platforms.
An announcement trailer accompanied the reveal; further updates are expected as the 2026 release window approaches.
