Orbitals - Nintendo Switch 2

Grab a friend and launch into Orbitals, an intergalactic 2-player co-op adventure set in a wholly new retro anime world.

Team up as Maki and Omura, two inseparable explorers with a whole lot more determination than experience. You’ll brave the perils of space in search of help for their crumbling station home, now trapped within a supernatural cosmic storm.

Our duo must venture beyond the storm and into the unknown in a desperate bid to save their home. It’ll take brains, bravery, and teamwork to make it through!

That Retro Anime Feeling!
Orbitals captures the warmth and style of classic Japanese anime, brought to life with hand-crafted cinematic cutscenes from Studio Massket, full Japanese and English voice acting, and an original soundtrack that channels the magic of the era.

A Puzzle Adventure Made for Co-op
Built from the ground up for asymmetric 2-player co-op, either in local split-screen or online with Nintendo Switch™ 2 GameShare (or using the Orbitals Global Friend's Pass), Orbitals rewards smart teamwork and clear communication. Use each character’s unique tools to open the path forward, overcome danger, and meet out-of-this-world creatures and characters on a bombastic adventure.

Explore Beyond the Storm Wall!
Pilot your ship through the perilous asteroid fields and discover mysterious abandoned stations filled with a variety of puzzles and dangers that only two explorers can overcome together. As you navigate uncharted areas, close collaboration is vital – remember, you can only save your home by working together!
