Of Blades & Tails finally gets Nintendo Switch release date, new trailer
Years after it was announced for Nintendo Switch, Of Blades & Tails now has a release date on the platform. Pineapple Works and Felix Laukel are bringing it over on November 6, 2025.
Of Blades & Tails was announced for Nintendo Switch over three years ago. The PC version did come out in 2023, but there was a lengthy hang-up in getting it ready for Nintendo’s platform.
Since it’s been awhile, here’s what to expect from the turn-based RPG:
A turn-based RPG that is action-oriented but rewards a thoughtful approach. Explore a fantastic land populated by different animal tribes. Follow the main story or hunt for treasures in ancient ruins and mysterious dungeons. Develop your character and gain powerful equipment.
You play Reik, a clever member of the tribe of foxes. A chain of unfortunate events involves you in a quest of vital importance to all the peace-loving creatures of the realm. You will have to leave your home village and explore the world to become strong enough to stand up to evil.
The gameplay is inspired by classic Hack & Slash RPGs. However there is no permanent death in this game. It aims to be an accessible and entertaining Action-RPG.
As you explore the land, you’ll gain experience and unlock new abilities. Not all inhabitants will be friendly to you. Some will help you with information, others are only interested in trading, and still others will get in your way.
Improve your equipment and collect useful resources in the environment to have a decisive advantage in battle.
