Kemco is bringing another one of their RPGs to Nintendo Switch, this time Covenant of Solitude. The game is set to hit the eShop on June 6th, 2025. 

Covenant of Solitude was developed by Magitec, and originally released for mobile platforms in 2013. It follows Fort, a descendant of an outcasted race of genies who were feared for their ability to control monsters.

Here’s the full overview of the game:

Nintendo Switch 2 GameChat phone number

If you plan on using GameChat on Nintendo Switch 2, you’ll need a phone number. That news has been spotted in the official terms for the feature.

Nintendo doesn’t go into detail about why a phone number is required for GameChat on Switch 2, but the reason seems fairly clear. The company always takes the protection of its players seriously – especially younger ones. If someone uses GameChat in a nefarious way, it’s a bit easier for Nintendo to block them and prevent them from returning.
