Earlier this week, a Taiwanese rating and a leaked trailer seemed to give the game away on a new, upcoming title in the Drawn to Life series. Now, we have official confirmation that the game is the real deal.
Drawn To Life: Two Realms, described as "a revitalisation of the beloved franchise and modern continuation of the series", will launch on Nintendo Switch on 7th December. It's a digital-only affair and will also be arriving on Steam and mobile platforms on the same day.
Speaking to Nintendo Life, Drawn to Life's Global Brand Manager, Lennart Bobzien, has shared the following:
"After over ten years of absence, the Drawn to Life series returns with a true continuation! Drawn to Life: Two Realms captures the charming atmosphere of the series perfectly and adds new features to offer fans and newcomers the full Drawn to Life experience.
The beloved hero customization will return and has been extended with millions of colours, unique stickers, templates, new hero animations, and a mix and match look to allow the user to create their very own and bespoke hero. Over 100 levels will introduce a new gameplay element which will challenge the user to use their imagination and to place objects the right way to master the level. In addition to that, the game offers two mirrored worlds which the user can visit and explore as they want.
Thanks to the involvement by many of the original developers, fans of the series will recognise many elements which have made the series so popular. Fans will enjoy the unique music composed by the original composer David J. Franco as well as the very Drawn to Life-like art brought to life by the original sprite artist as well as a continued story presented by the original Executive Producer of Drawn to Life, and Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter."
We've also got our hands on a lovely selection of screenshots for you. Check these out:

... COLOUR me interested. Always looked charming, but never... DREW me in on the DS (tried it with the R4 long after its release). A demo for this one would be nice.
When I first saw the leaked trailer I had my doubts, but over time it's been warming up to me.
@Shambo those puns are sketchy
Never heard if it. But the screenshots look cozy as hell. Will keep an eye on it.
I've enjoyed the last two on the DS so let's hope this game isn't PAINT by numbers.
A game so unfinished that you have to draw the protagonist yourself?!
Pass!
In all seriousness, I am a little tempted, though I had given the series a miss during the Wii/DS days.
At first those 2D levels looked really bland, but that Build button makes me think we'll be able to create levels. Hopefully, we'll be able to share our creations ala Mario Maker.
We probably knew about this game (before offical announcement) longer than it'll probably take to beat it.
Not gonna lie though, doesn't look bad.
It's really too bad that it's digital only. Drawn to Life and Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter were some of my favorite DS games back in the day. Needless to say I'm excited.
The DS games were cool. So will look this up for definite
Never did play the DS game, maybe I'll give this a try.
Looks like it has the feel of the originals. I’ll put it on my list.
Nice that they got some of the original 5th Cell staff to work on this Drawn To Life game.
Is a new Scribblenauts next?
Very cool to see a solid DS series get some love. I hope fans of the series aren't disappointed by it.
This would make a good Intellivision Amico game.
“ Fans will enjoy the unique music composed by the original composer David J. Franco”
Sold!!! I hope they throw in some classic music from the first two, maybe as a story retelling or something. Or if this does well maybe they can use the engine to remake 1 & 2 later.
@admwllms I'm not the brightest crayon in the box.
"a continued story"
I have no idea how this is possible, but ok.
I heard its only ten dollers.
I had fun with the DS release, but missed the original sequel. Might pick this up when I clear out my backlog a bit. I had fun with the original, and I've gotten better at drawing, so I won't just stick to the pre-generated armor-demon look (even though I really liked it)
