Elestrals Awakened landing on Nintendo Switch

After receiving funding on Kickstarter, Elestrals Awakened will be made for Nintendo Switch. It’s planned for the end of 2027, but that’s very tentative currently. 

Elestrals Awakened is a mythological monster catching RPG. Fans already raised $250,000 to get the main game funded, and after crossing $400,000, a Nintendo Switch version was confirmed. The total actually sits over $1.4 million.

Tons of details about the project can be found in the following overview:

Elestrals Awakened is epic 2.5D single-player action-adventure, monster tamer RPG video game that puts you at the center of the Elestrals Universe.

In a world shaped by Gods and Titans, the elemental forces that once held balance have begun to unravel. Long ago, divine power was shattered across the stars, giving birth to the creatures now known as Elestrals. As darkness stirs and conflict brews among the realms, the Gods call upon new Champions to rise. Will you protect the world… or reshape its destiny?

Born from the smash-hit trading card game, Elestrals Awakened brings the rich lore, elemental forces, and epic adventures into a fully realized interactive world. Step into the role of a Caster, forge a bond with a Spirit companion, and explore the elemental lands as tensions rise and ancient powers awaken!

Eons ago, eight elemental spirits shaped the balance of the world. Earth, Fire, Water, Thunder, Wind, Frost, Solar, and Lunar. Each one embodies a force of nature, guiding those who align with its essence.

Now, as your journey begins, you must choose one of these elements and forge a sacred bond with its spirit. The element you choose will empower your abilities and mark your path as a Caster, shaping the way you clash, grow, and connect with the world around you.

• Teratlas, the Earth Spirit values patience and growth. Sproutyr embodies this spirit, ascending into Centaurbor, a steadfast protector who believes strength is rooted in nurturing bonds and growing together.
• Vipyro, the Fire Spirit burns with passion and loyalty. Necruff embodies this fierce devotion, ascending into the unstoppable guardian Trifernal, whose multiple heads watch over allies with unwavering determination. For Necruff, friendship is a flame that never dies!
• Leviaphin, the Water Spirit flows with adaptability and calm. Sluggle embodies this laid-back nature, riding life’s currents until ascending into Majesea, a serene yet formidable force beneath the waves. Sometimes the deepest waters run strongest!
• Zaptor, the Thunder Spirit crackles with endless energy and excitement. Quackle embodies this electrifying spirit, playfully sparking chaos before ascending into Ohmperial, a majestic warrior whose elegance strikes like lightning. When opportunity calls, Quackle answers with a shock!
• Lycarus, the Wind Spirit drifts with deceptive strength and resilience. Hydrake embodies this determination, appearing gentle yet unshakable in battle before ascending into Penterror, the five-headed tempest that refuses to be blown away. True power doesn’t need to shout!
• Flurrmine, the Frost Spirit thrives through adaptation and resilience. Kryoling embodies this cool confidence, loafing around until trouble freezes over, then ascending into Kryoscorch, a fearsome dragon whose icy fury leaves opponents cold. Chill today, conquer tomorrow!
• Luminape, the Solar Spirit radiates joy and warmth under the brightest skies. Sundile embodies this sunny disposition, lazily while charging its inner light before ascending into Chronodile, a radiant protector of rivers and lakes. Every dawn brings new strength to shine!
• Owlune, the Lunar Spirit glides silently through moonlit skies with grace. Fawnlit embodies this quiet elegance, treading softly through shadows before ascending into Posthumoose, a proud and heartfelt creature of the night. In darkness, courage shines brightest!

Explore the world, clash against powerful Elestrals, and form lasting bonds with them. To bond successfully, time your moves carefully, press the directional keys in sync with the stars to strengthen your connection!

In Elestrals Awakened, players can embark on an exciting journey to discover Stellars: rare, alternate-color versions of Elestrals that shine with celestial brilliance.

Each Stellar isn’t just visually unique, they’re stronger than their standard counterparts, possessing an additional Spirit Core that grants them a second combat Trait, unlocking powerful new synergies and strategies.

Stellar Hunting Methods:

• Overworld Encounters: Stellars can appear naturally in the world for sharp-eyed adventurers to discover. These will have visual and audio queues.
• Tall Grass Battles: Rare encounters while exploring the wilds.
• Clash Chaining: Defeat an Elestral to instantly trigger another Clash, increasing your odds of finding a Stellar.
• Chain Fishing: Cast your line and maintain a streak to uncover aquatic Stellars.
• Nexus Discoveries: Use the Nexus mechanic to reveal hidden Stellars through elemental resonance.

Best of all, every Elestral in the game can be Stellar-hunted: no locks, no limits, just the thrill of discovery.
