The Touryst: Deluxe Announced as Nintendo Switch 2 Exclusive, New Features Revealed

Shin’en Multimedia, a prominent developer renowned for its technical expertise on Nintendo platforms, has officially announced The Touryst: Deluxe—an enhanced edition of its acclaimed action-adventure title.

This new version has been confirmed as an exclusive for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, underscoring both the developer’s ongoing partnership with Nintendo and its commitment to delivering polished, content-rich experiences. The original The Touryst, first released on Nintendo Switch in November 2019, quickly garnered positive attention in the Nintendo eShop for its unique voxel-based visuals, breezy island-hopping gameplay, and engaging puzzle mechanics.

Players embraced the game’s open exploration structure and the many secrets scattered across the fictional Monument Islands, resulting in strong word-of-mouth and sustained sales. Now, Shin’en Multimedia is preparing to revisit the tropical adventure with The Touryst: Deluxe.

According to a recent developer statement, this fresh edition will feature considerable new content—including a brand new island and monument, novel items to discover, additional quests to undertake, and significantly upgraded graphics tailored for the more powerful Nintendo Switch 2 hardware.

Shin’en also indicated that The Touryst: Deluxe will not be available on the original Nintendo Switch, emphasizing a next-generation experience optimized for the new platform. For players unfamiliar with the title, The Touryst casts the player as a new arrival at the enigmatic Monument Islands.

The gameplay blends exploration with activities such as deep-sea diving, beachside parties, arcade minigames, and mysterious conversations with island locals, all wrapped in a colorful and charming art direction.

The game’s design rewards curiosity and encourages players to uncover the secret history of ancient monuments scattered across the islands. The Touryst: Deluxe marks Shin’en’s second official announcement for Nintendo Switch 2, following its previous reveal of Fast Fusion, a futuristic racing game.

The developer has built a strong reputation for technical optimization and creative use of hardware, and with both titles, they are poised to help define the software lineup for Nintendo’s new console generation.

As for The Touryst: Deluxe, Shin’en has stated that launch timing details will be shared at a later date but confirmed its exclusivity to the Nintendo Switch 2 platform upon release. The legacy of The Touryst stands as a testament to Shin’en Multimedia’s strengths in bringing vibrant, accessible adventures to Nintendo consoles.

With upgraded visuals, new activities, and an expanded world, The Touryst: Deluxe is set to become a noteworthy addition to the Nintendo Switch 2 library, further enriching the eShop’s lineup and delighting fans of the original title.
