Shapefarm showcased a new release date trailer for its co-op sci-fi action game Orbitals during the June 2026 Nintendo Direct, as reported by IGN South Africa.
Co-op players looking for a new frontier to explore with their squad have a date to circle on the calendar. Developer Shapefarm officially pulled back the curtain on its upcoming sci-fi action game during the June 2026 Nintendo Direct showcase, treating fans to a fresh look at the title via an official release date trailer. IGN South Africa covered the announcement, highlighting the studio's next major project as it prepares to make the jump to modern platforms.
Orbitals leans heavily into cooperative gameplay, a crucial pillar for today's connected gaming landscape where squads expect seamless cross-play and shared progression. While details on the exact mechanics and endgame loops are still rolling out, Shapefarm is positioning the game as a premier destination for friends who treat co-op sessions as their primary social hangout. With the current gaming ecosystem thriving on games that keep friend groups locked in for hundreds of hours, a polished sci-fi premise hits all the right notes for modern lobbies.
The timing of the Nintendo Direct drop positions Orbitals nicely to capture the attention of players across platforms who love a good action-heavy campaign to tackle with a crew. As we get closer to launch, the real test for Shapefarm will be how the game handles live community engagement and content delivery. For now, you can check out the breakdown of the footage over at IGN South Africa to see what the co-op action looks like in motion.
