    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.
