Embark on a cosmic adventure with a friend and save your home in one of Nintendo Switch 2’s most unique co-op exclusives
Orbitals for Nintendo Switch 2 is a cooperative adventure inspired by classic anime from the 1980s and 1990s. Players take control of two young explorers, Maki and Omura, who set out on a dangerous journey across the galaxy to save their space station home, trapped inside a supernatural cosmic storm. The story blends humor, friendship, exploration, and emotional moments, while the visual style draws inspiration from beloved anime such as Dragon Ball and Cowboy Bebop.
The game’s defining feature is its mandatory two-player co-op gameplay. Each character possesses unique abilities that must be combined to solve puzzles, overcome obstacles, and complete challenges. Players can enjoy the adventure locally, through split-screen, or online using Nintendo Switch 2 features. Developed by former Hazelight Studios designers who worked on It Takes Two and A Way Out, Orbitals focuses heavily on teamwork, communication, and shared problem-solving.
