Arcade puzzler Jupiter Junkworks slated for Nintendo Switch

We’ve got word on another upcoming game for Nintendo Switch, which is Jupiter Junkworks. The title is targeting a late 2026 launch.

Jupiter Junkworksis a fast-paced arcade puzzle game. The experience revolves around taking on contracts to earn resources and rebuild a run-down spaceship junkyard, set against the backdrop of a sci-fi narrative campaign.

Learn more about what’s planned in the following overview:

Fast, strategic, and satisfyingly crunchy—Jupiter Junkworks brings classic arcade puzzle vibes with a fresh sci-fi twist. Complete contracts to earn resources and unlock upgrades in both gameplay and story.

Slamming blocks is at the heart of Jupiter Junkworks’ arcade puzzle action. Every slam lets you shear off parts of existing blocks or compress gaps beneath them—essential techniques you’ll need to master to succeed. It’s also how you recharge your power-ups, so keep slamming and keep the momentum going!

Match colored bits to collect valuable resources and trigger block tumbles! In many challenges, collecting these bits is your primary objective—often more important than simply clearing rows. They also carry over into the campaign, so going above and beyond your contract goals means extra resources to invest in upgrades and progress.

Strategic placement and timing are key, as building massive rows and chaining combos together will earn you greater rewards and help you complete contracts faster. But there’s a twist: every crushed row fuels your heat meter, gradually ramping up the pace and intensity. As your heat rises, so does the speed of incoming blocks, pushing your reflexes and decision-making to the limit.

Unlock a growing arsenal of tools designed to obliterate blocks and boost your strategy. One of the first at your disposal is the Rail Driver which compresses everything in a block-wide column, clearing space and setting up massive plays. Each powerup can be used to create a unique loadout tailored to your playstyle, whether you prefer calculated combos, brute force, or chaos-fueled improvisation.

Join Ryla, Grant, and Jun as they band together to make the most of their unexpected new life at Jupiter Junkworks. Hailing from wildly different corners of the solar system—a Mars orbital workyard, Earth’s sprawling megacities, and a commercial pilot training fleet—they’ll need to overcome their differences to have any hope of success.

As your team grows closer, so does the mystery behind Jupiter Junkworks. What really happened to the last owner? And what will you do when you finally uncover the truth?
