Folklore Hunter, a co-op urban legend hunting survival game, coming to Nintendo Switch

Folklore Hunter will be seeing release on Nintendo Switch, Liquid Donkey Games confirmed today. It will be available in 2026.

Folklore Hunter is a co-op urban legend hunting survival game. As a world-renowned hunter of supernatural beasts, you’ll take on contracts and track down urban legends from all over the world.

Plenty of additional information can be found in the following overview:

When a father goes missing under mysterious circumstances looking for his kids, a village finds itself cursed by creatures of the night, or strange things are afoot at abandoned military biolabs, they call you. Dropped in uncharted lands with limited supplies and supernatural threats, your team has the skills to find an explanation for the unexplainable.

Track and hunt three mythic creatures in a fully-designed main campaign through a series of Story Hunts supporting single and multiplayer modes. Set up traps and cameras to capture the location of the horned Wendigo. Solve cryptic riddles and uncover hidden storylines that brought the vampiric Strigoi to a now vacant village. Find a way to communicate with the Mothman via electromagnetic radiation, but don’t linger. Whatever’s out there is tracking you, too.

Wander through wooded forests, dank caves, mysterious shrines, sealed catacombs, haunted churches, cult lairs, abandoned military outposts, and other handcrafted environments on a hunt for the world’s most fabled creatures of the night. Discover clues from bloody notes, obscurely placed skeletons, and other oddities to combine wit and intuition and outsmart otherworldly dangers.

Learn what brought each creature into this world and find a way to contain it before it takes any more lives. Take these lessons and apply them to shorter Contract Hunts to tackle randomized locations and puzzles, and earn rewards for living to unlock new gear, traps, and other helpful equipment to personalize your own hunting techniques.

Liquid Donkey Games founder and sole developer Jayde Cohen said today: “There are so many approaches to hunting these supernatural beings. Shotguns, crossbows, exploding gas cans, crucifixes — even runes with inscription tools to help survive. Pick your poison. How you use them, though? That’s a story for you to tell.”

Get a look at a trailer for the project below.
