Order Of The Sinking Star, From Braid Creator Jonathan Blow, Is Coming To Switch 2
Arc Games has announced that Order of the Sinking Star, the next puzzle game from renowned director Jonathan Blow (creator of Braid and The Witness), will release on Nintendo Switch 2 later in 2026. The game was originally revealed at The Game Awards 2025 with PC identified as the primary platform; the Switch 2 announcement marks the game’s expansion to console hardware.
Order of the Sinking Star emphasizes narrative alongside puzzle mechanics, transporting players to a magical realm described as a “living puzzle.” The game’s central design involves four distinct worlds that gradually intersect and blend throughout the player’s journey. As these worlds merge, the puzzle mechanics and systems that players have learned evolve and change dynamically based on circumstances. This design ensures that mechanical understanding from earlier gameplay sections combines and transforms as the narrative progresses.
The Switch 2 port represents a significant platform expansion for Blow’s latest work, bringing his distinctive puzzle design philosophy to Nintendo’s next-generation handheld console. Given Blow’s established reputation for creating innovative and critically acclaimed puzzle experiences, Order of the Sinking Star stands as a notable title for the platform’s year of release.
