    Dragon Loop: Gorgeous Time-Loop Metroidvania Gets Nintendo Switch Physical Release This June

    Indie game publishers Leoful and developer Happy Player have announced that the hand-drawn, time-bending Metroidvania Dragon Loop is officially locking in a physical release for the Nintendo Switch.

    Physical game collectors and handheld adventurers can get their hands on a boxed copy starting June 11, 2026.

    If you’ve been looking for a fresh, gorgeous side-scroller to add to your physical Switch library, this one deserves a spot on your radar. Catch the newly released physical edition trailer below to see it in action:

    Escaping the 5-Day Loop

    In Dragon Loop, you step into the shoes of Xi, a young girl trapped in a strict five-day time loop. Alongside her reliable companion Ouro, Xi must navigate a vast, beautifully hand-drawn world to recover her lost memories and break the cycle before disaster strikes.

    Unlike traditional roguelikes, where a reset means losing everything, Dragon Loop treats time as a strategic resource. You map out your journeys using an in-game Time Map, opening up new worldlines to see how events and landscapes subtly alter depending on the day.

    Key Gameplay Features:

    • Turn Bosses into Summonable Spirits: Defeating the game’s unique bosses allows you to turn them into valuable allies. You can summon Explosive Spirits for raw firepower or Persistent Spirits to aid you over time, both of which can be upgraded.
    • Multipurpose Metroidvania Tools: Hidden throughout the world are rare Pearls that unlock unique traversal tools—such as magnetic boxes, spiky pufferfish, and a vacuuming whale spirit. Each tool pulls double duty in both exploration and combat.
    • Fast-Paced, No-Contact-Damage Combat: The combat relies heavily on speed and synchronisation between Xi and Ouro. An integrated “X-Rating” system rewards smooth play by boosting your combat power, and crucially, there is no contact damage from enemies, encouraging aggressive, fluid positioning.

    Retail & Pre-Order Details

    Pre-orders for the physical edition are going live at online and brick-and-mortar retailers, with initial availability confirmed across Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and wider Southeast Asian markets, alongside global import availability for international collectors.

    The physical cartridge will feature robust language support, including English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, French, German, and Spanish.

    Media & Creator Opportunities

    Leoful has indicated they are actively looking to connect with the global gaming community ahead of the launch. The publisher is open to inquiries regarding review keys, developer interviews, and coverage opportunities from media outlets and content creators worldwide.

    Stellar Wanderer DX Set to Launch on PC and Consoles This March

    Space combat enthusiasts, mark your calendars. Indie publisher Leoful and developer Dream Builder Studios have officially announced that Stellar Wanderer DX, the upgraded “Deluxe” edition of the acclaimed space sim, will launch on March 12, 2026.

    • PC (via Steam)
    • Nintendo Switch™
    • PlayStation® 5
    • Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One

    A Modern Take on Old-School Space Sims

    Inspired by classics like Freelancer, Stellar Wanderer DX is an open-galaxy space combat simulation that blends RPG progression with arcade-style dogfighting. You step into the flight suit of a freelance pilot who has just survived an assassination attempt. From there, the universe is yours to command.

    Key Features of the DX Edition

    The “DX” isn’t just a label; the developers have rebuilt and refined the original experience from the cockpit up:

    • Reimagined Visuals: Features higher-detail ship models, reworked cockpits, and beautiful new space environments with improved lighting and high-resolution skies.
    • Enhanced Gameplay: The “Deluxe” version includes rebalanced mechanics, tighter controls, and a more streamlined progression system.
    • Diverse Playstyles: Players can choose from four distinct classes: Fighter, Trader, Tank, or Engineer, each offering unique abilities and bonuses to suit their preferred way of navigating the stars.
    • Deep Customisation: With over a dozen unique ships and 100+ items to equip, you can specialise in everything from heavy-duty mining to stealthy smuggling.

    Choose Your Path

    While the game features a captivating main story—complete with full voice acting and roughly 10 hours of campaign content—the open-world nature allows you to ignore the plot and forge your own destiny.

    ActivityDescription
    Bounty HuntingTrack down the galaxy’s most dangerous outlaws for cold, hard credits.
