Shockwork Games, the developer behind last year's Switch release Alder's Blood, has announced that a new, "dark" JRPG called Nadir is now in the works for Switch.
The game will have players controlling a team of three "powerful, yet extremely blemished characters" as they try to escape a seemingly endless city. The city contains different themes, enemies and challenges, and you'll need to adapt to these differences by building a variety of character builds to maximise your team's efforts.
Here's an official description:
Nadir is a dark jRPG with procedurally generated maps burning of infernal fire and many extraordinary inspirations with the deepest influence coming straight from Dante’s Divine Comedy. The game features fast-paced combat with lots of abilities and special effects, terrifying enemies, strong and vivid, Sin-City inspired art style, and modding support for those who want to expand the world.
Nadir is already progressing nicely according to the team, but a Kickstarter campaign will be launched soon to generate additional funding, all in a bid to "polish and expand" the game further. If you're interested in keeping an eye out for that, make sure to sign up for notifications here.
We're liking the art style shown in these screenshots, we must say:
The teaser trailer above suggests that we'll get our hands on Nadir at some point this year, but Shockwork warns that it'll release "once ready."
Are you liking the sound of this one? Will you be watching out for its release on Switch? Tell us below.

JRPGs are always Fun!
This isn't a JRPG...I can't rule 34 anything from this teaser.
This looks pretty great in the screenshots
This looks like a turn based RPG, from the screenshots. I'm honestly not sure what I'm looking at.
NINJA CONFUSED
That trailer tells me… not much / close to nothing about the game.
Studio is from Poland, it’s a PRPG.
@PosterBoy Hi there, we're aware of that. Honestly, we didn't expect that this tiny reveal will gain so much coverage. We're already working on a professional gameplay trailer. ~ Diana from Shockwork Games
@Wendei Keep up the good world, the visuals alone are pretty striking
@Wendei
That's awesome to hear. Trailers that don't show game play drive me nuts.
@Wendei Hi there, so is this exclusive to the Switch? The visuals look interesting.
Looks cool, but the name opens it up to the dreaded one word review if it doesn’t meet its potential.
“Indeed”
Looks interesting, but needs more anime tiddies
Tired of kickstarters, just take out a business loan instead of always spreading the risk with customers like Platinum did with Wonderful 101. People will buy it if it's a good concept!
@Wendei the game looks awesome!
@Razer It's hard to say at this point, as we're still in a very early stage of development. But with our first game, Alder's Blood we did a temporary (1 month) exclusivity, we may do the same with Nadir, but it depends on many aspects.
@Deady Lol, good one. We'll do our best to not let that happen though.
Thanks for all your comments!
