The Pale Beyond set for Nintendo Switch physical release
Super Rare Games has another Nintendo Switch physical release in the works, which is The Pale Beyond.
3,000 copies will be up for grabs. It comes with interior art, a full-color manual, exclusive sticker, and trading cards.
The Pale Beyond, a survival RPG, first came to Nintendo Switch as a digital download in October 2023. Below is an official overview:
Five years ago, The Viscount and its crew set sail through The Pale Passage in search of absolute magnetic South. The ship and its crew were tragically lost to the ice, never to be seen again. Her sister ship, The Temperance shall follow in her path, hoping to find answers where The Viscount failed.
Key Features
- A polar exploration game set in an unforgiving frozen wasteland where you embark on a treacherous voyage across the ice and through the Pale Beyond. It’s a stunning yet harsh landscape that can change at any moment. Every decision matters and the ice doesn’t care. As the expedition unfolds and the Polar Winter approaches, every decision you make will have a meaningful impact on the story as you navigate your way across the ice.
- You didn’t ask to lead this expedition, but here you are. Stuck in the ice, Captain missing, miles from civilisation. Someone has to take charge. Manage your meagre resources, balance safety and morale, make the hard calls, and head in the only direction you can – through The Pale Beyond. Keeping the crew (and sled dogs) safe, fed, and warm during the expedition is imperative. Surviving the ice will matter little in the face of a mutiny. Every vote will count. So keep the crew on your side.
- Featuring original musical compositions, shanties and accordion tunes that will dynamically evolve alongside your journey.
The physical release for The Pale Beyond goes up for pre-order through Super Rare Games on October 9, 2025 here. We have coverage of other boxed editions from the company here.
