Bushcraft Simulator coming to Nintendo Switch 2

Ultimate Games will be publishing Bushcraft Simulator on Nintendo Switch 2 in partnership with A2 Softworks, the company has announced. The news did not come with a release window.

Bushcraft Simulator is a new survival game with roguelike elements. Players will start up the game in a forest and will need to demonstrate their bushcraft and survival skills.

Here’s a ton of additional information:

Bushcraft Simulator is a realistic simulation game with roguelike and survivalist elements, in which the player fights for survival on an island cut off from the world and overgrown by wild forest. The player must survive as long as possible in a hostile environment with only limited resources at his disposal.

The idea of the game refers to the art of survival and coping with wildlife. The gameplay will focus on survival, but it will not lack gathering, crafting, exploration and combat. The issue of taking care of the basic needs of the character, i.e. health, eating, hydration and warmth, among others, will play a very important role.

As announced by the developers, Bushcraft Simulator is to be distinguished by its realistic approach to survivalism. Making water will require the player to obtain and process the right raw materials (e.g. charcoal, sand, etc.) and then apply them in the right order. When setting up a camp, the player will have to properly plan sleeping areas, shelters and campfires to ensure comfort and safe survival of the night. It is worth noting the mechanics in which the type of campfire affects the amount of heat generated and how long it burns.

Another important element is the exploration of the wild forest, which will require the player to plan the equipment necessary for the next stages of the game. Skillful weight management and preparation of the right set of tools will be crucial and may determine survival. In the game, in addition to fighting wildlife, the player will encounter mysterious signs and structures.

A2 Softworks’ Andrzej Stroiński said: “This is a game that should appeal to fans of bushcraft and survivalism. Certainly players who appreciate productions in the style of Green Hell, The Forest or Valheim will find something for themselves in Bushcraft Simulator. The game focuses on realistic aspects of survival, which can be found in vain in other productions with similar themes. The simulator will be distinguished by a thoughtful combination of realism and varied and intriguing gameplay.”
