Posted on June 7, 2025 by (@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop

Dreampunk is putting its new game Microvania on Nintendo Switch, the studio revealed today. It’s due out in late 2025.

Microvania is a retro-style Metroidvania action platformer. Players can explore a tiny world, find upgrades, discover hidden paths, and battle bosses.

Here’s some additional information:

Microvania is a tiny metroidvania. So tiny, that the screen resolution is only 160×90!

Key Features

  • Explore the depths of planet Micronus: Traverse and backtrack through meticulously crafted pixels of caves, jungles, labs, ruins, and more.
  • Find and make use of classic upgrade tropes. Missiles, Claw, Ball-Mode and more!
  • Customise your play style: Equip Microcards to modify your weapons and abilities. Create your own play style.
  • Microvania respects your time: Don’t worry about saving your progress – the game will create a checkpoint every time you enter a room, and you will spawn back here if you die. And exiting to the main menu will save that checkpoint to your save file.
  • Accessibility & Full Controller Support: Designed for controllers, with fully customisable buttons. Including accessibility options like rapid fire or toggle modes for various functions.
