Press release:
Madrid, Spain, 18th of December of 2025 – Oppidum, the narrative-driven survival experience for 1 to 4 players developed by the Spanish studio EP Games, is now available on Nintendo Switch.

After receiving the Best Accessibility award at the recently celebrated first edition of the Iris Awards, the game lands on this new platform that will bring it closer to a new and big audience at the perfect time. It is also compatible with Nintendo Switch 2. There will be an upgrade for this platform later, and it will be free in the countries that it’s allowed. To accompany this launch, the studio has presented a new launch trailer.

In addition, this new version of Oppidum on Nintendo Switch comes with new features and a big update for all the other platforms, where the game has been available since last April. Said update, that players can already enjoy, includes:

Two new minigames: Beach Pong and Battle Arena.
More accessibility options: a new pause mode (mappable on controller and premapped on keyboard), and a visual indicator on the attack bar of enemies as a way to assist with performing a perfect parry on their attack.
The chance to obtain Tamai destroying certain objects in your camp, like old tools and armors that are no longer being used.
Lots of important improvements in resource and inventory management, among others.
The option to see the credits from the main menu, not just at the end of the game.

Oppidum is already availble on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and now on the Nintendo eShop, where it has an exclusive launch discount for those who wish to embark on this journey to save the island of Insule from the corruption since day one.
