Cult Classic Platformer Rain World Is Getting A Definitive Release On Nintendo Switch 2
Videocult’s Rain World, a cult classic platformer that blends cinematic puzzle-solving with survival mechanics in the style of Limbo, is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 as Rain World Anthology Edition. The definitive release will include both digital and physical versions for the new console.
In Rain World, players take control of a slugcat navigating a harsh post-apocalyptic world. The core gameplay combines exploration and resource management as players forage for food, engage in combat with hostile wildlife, and race against deadly rainfall that forces them to reach hibernation spots to survive each cycle. The game is renowned for its atmospheric tension and challenging difficulty, creating a niche but deeply devoted playerbase. While the demanding gameplay isn’t for everyone, those who embrace it tend to become passionate fans.
The announcement was made during indie publisher Akupara Games’ inaugural showcase event, which featured updates on multiple upcoming indie titles. The Anthology Edition marks the game’s first release on Nintendo Switch 2, introducing this cult classic to players on the new hardware.
