Verho: Curse of Faces, a dark RPG that channels the mood and slow-burn exploration of the King’s Field series, has been officially announced for release on consoles including Nintendo Switch.
The game is scheduled to launch on July 30, 2026, and will be available as a digital download on platform storefronts such as the Nintendo eShop.
Background and launch details
Verho: Curse of Faces unfolds in the aftermath of the cataclysmic Era of Solitude.
In the game's setting, masks are the only protection against the titular Curse of Faces, a condition that causes instant death if a character reveals their face.
Players travel to the land of Yariv to investigate the origin of the curse and choose whether to lift it or exploit its power.
The title's announcement highlights its inspiration from FromSoftware-style, slow-paced first-person RPGs, specifically calling out King’s Field as a creative touchstone.
The announcement confirms a simultaneous console launch and an accompanying update.
The publisher notes that a "Chaos" update will be available on the same day as the Nintendo Switch release; however, the announcement did not specify the contents or features of that update.
The title will be released digitally, and Nintendo Switch owners should find it on the eShop at launch.
