Original (7/7): Trigger Witch was previously confirmed for a release on Switch this month, but an exact date hadn’t been set. Eastasiasoft and Rainbite have now confirmed that the 2D twin-stick action game will launch on July 29 via the eShop, with a physical version to follow.

We have the following overview and trailer for Trigger Witch, courtesy of Eastasiasoft:

Recalling the visual style and intuitive gameplay of 16-bit action-adventure classics, Trigger Witch puts an ultra-violent spin on cute and colorful pixel art. With a compelling and original narrative, puzzling environments to explore, a dynamic soundtrack, twin-stick shooter mechanics, and a vast array of enemies to blast into smithereens, this is a tale that will grip you from start to bloody finish.

From the creators of Reverie, Trigger Witch is a stylized 2D twin-stick action game set in an odd open world where magic is outdated and firearms are the new way of life. Players assume the role of Colette, a prospective graduate from the Stock, an academy for Witchcraft and Triggery. After a mysterious man invades her realm, events are set in motion that turn Colette’s life upside-down, casting her as the sole heroine with enough firepower to restore peace.
