Action Platformer Castlebound Hits Kickstarter with Nintendo Switch 2 Support Confirmed
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Castlebound, a 1-4 player roguelike action platformer, launched its Kickstarter campaign during the Latin American Games Showcase at Summer Game Fest 2026 with confirmed releases for PC, Nintendo Switch, and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
Cooperative action platformers are getting a fresh entry as the development team behind Castlebound rolls out an official Kickstarter campaign. Revealed during the Latin American Games Showcase at Summer Game Fest 2026, the title blends intense wave defense combat with roguelike progression for one to four players. You and your squad will need to hold the line against relentless hordes of evil monsters while managing your castle defenses, making teamwork essential for survival.
What immediately catches the eye about this release is the hardware lineup. Beyond standard PC and current Nintendo Switch availability, the developers have officially confirmed support for Nintendo's upcoming successor hardware, often referred to as the Switch 2. This early hardware commitment points to a smooth transition as players look toward the next generation of hybrid gaming consoles.
Crowdfunding campaigns remain a vital pipeline for independent studios looking to retain creative control while building communities around their games. As the Kickstarter gains momentum, player feedback during this phase will likely shape how the roguelike elements and cooperative balancing evolve. You can check out the official trailer and back the project directly through IGN South Africa.
