"We’re incredibly excited to be part of the Nintendo Direct and to finally introduce Hela to a new group of fans who have long been asking if the game would come to Switch. Together with our publisher, Knights Peak, we feel honored by this opportunity and truly believe Hela will be a perfect fit within the Nintendo Switch 2 lineup — a title that speaks directly to the tastes and expectations of its audience," said Alexander Benitez, Head of Studio at Windup Games.
Eugenio Vitale, VP of Publishing at Knights Peak, adds,"the Nintendo Switch 2 and Hela are an ideal combination, not only because the console provides the perfect canvas for Hela's heart-warming adventure, but the passionate Nintendo community is known for appreciating games that offer comfort and meaning – values that Hela represents. Whether playing at home or on the go, players can freely choose how they want to immerse themselves in Hela, no matter where they are."
Hela is a third-person adventure set in the beautiful northern Scandinavian nature and tells the enchanting story of a kind Witch and her familiars — agile mice with magical abilities. For ages, the friendly witch has used her magic to help the local folk, but now she has fallen ill and needs help herself. It's up to the players to set out on a quest to heal the Witch, and combine exploration of magical landscapes, foraging, puzzles, action, and brewing.
Hela, the heartwarming third-person open-world adventure, will be coming in 2026 to Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series S|X, PlayStation 5 and PC.
