ABSOLUM Strikes Nintedo Switch 2 Physical 17 September
Sharpen your blades and ready your spells, for Silver Lining Interactive, alongside the powerhouse trio of Dotemu, Guard Crush Games, and Supamonks, has officially set the battle lines. The critically acclaimed roguelite Absolum is making its highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 debut on 17 September 2026, arriving as a complete, full-cartridge physical release. Pre-orders open now through Silver Lining Direct and local retailers at £44.99 / €49.99 / $49.99.
Absolum fuses the high-octane, kinetic chaos of classic arcade side-scrollers with the high-stakes, ever-shifting progression of a modern roguelite. Players will plunge into the oppressed, war-torn realm of Talamh, where the tyrannical Sun King Azra has choked out the land's magic and enforced his iron will through the ruthless Crimson Order. To break the empire's chokehold, you will need to master four fierce, outcast heroes - Galandra, Karl, Cider, and Brome. Every run offers fresh syndicates to dismantle, unpredictable power-ups to chain together, and brutal combat that rewards raw skill and tactical adaptation. September 17th is the day the revolution officially goes physical for Nintendo Switch 2. Due to the explosive demand of previous physical drops, fans are encouraged to secure their cartridges early through participating retail partners.
Pre-orders are open now at £44.99 / €49.99 / $49.99 through Silver Lining Direct and participating local retailers.
