Castle of Heart: Retold secures Nintendo Switch release date, new trailer

7Levels has now provided the release date for Castle of Heart: Retold on Nintendo Switch. The game arrives on October 3, 2025. Note that it’ll be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 as well, but 7Levels says specific timing will be shared soon.

Castle of Heart: Retold was first announced back in May. Last we heard, it had a more general summer launch window.

Here’s the latest information about the game:

Castle of Heart: Retold is a completely revamped version of the original Castle of Heart game, which first launched exclusively on Nintendo Switch in 2018 and sold over 300,000 copies on that platform alone.

The game is set to launch on October 3rd, boasting massively enhanced, visually revamped gameplay and a reimagined story, and allowing you to discover the untold legend of Svaran and Mira, who dared to defy the will of the Sorcerer.

Key Features
