Agatha Christie: Death on the Nil shares Nintendo Switch release date, limited edition announced

Microsoft today confirmed the release date for Agatha Christie: Death on the Nil. On Nintendo Switch, the game is slated for September 25, 2025.

Also announced is a limited edition, which will be sold in the UK – fans in other regions can import. Copies include the game, a 48-page art book, a bookmark, and the original soundtrack (digital format).

Below is an overview of the game:

This modern adaptation of the Queen of Crime’s classic novel introduces a fresh narrative twist with two playable protagonists: the legendary Hercule Poirot and a brand-new character created for the game, detective Jane Royce.

Players will alternate between the two characters, each offering a unique perspective on the unfolding investigation. Poirot’s razor-sharp logic combined with Royce’s intuition brings depth to the gameplay, as players cross-reference testimonies, interrogate suspects, and piece together every clue to uncover the truth.

While remaining true to the spirit of the original novel, Agatha Christie – Death on the Nile presents a contemporary reimagining of the iconic story. Following in the footsteps of Agatha Christie – Murder on the Orient Express, the team at Microids Studio Lyon has crafted a one-of-a-kind adventure full of new surprises – even die-hard Christie fans won’t see them coming.
