Skyforge, the free-to-play fantasy sci-fi MMO from Allods Team and My.Games, is launching on Switch eShop on 4th February. The game was originally developed in collaboration with Obsidian Entertainment and released on PS4 and Xbox One in 2017 (after starting life on PC in 2015). We've got our hands an exclusive Switch trailer showing gameplay footage of the Paladin — check out the five-minute trailer above for a first look of the game running on Nintendo's console.
With the ability to switch between eighteen unlockable classes, Skyforge puts you in the shoes of an 'Immortal' and charges you with joining other players to do celestial battle in a large online universe — you might even say massive. Classes include the musical Soundweaver, the pyro-loving (and no doubt twisted) Firestarter, and the Gunner. You can probably guess their weapon of choice.
The class showcased in the exclusive trailer above is the Paladin, described in the PR blurb as a Tank. Here's the official description:
Paladins are fearless soldiers with a wide range of offensive and defensive skills. They can be found in the heart of battle, crushing foes and protecting nearby allies. Fierce fighters up close, they call upon their Holy Powers to shield allies and engage enemies from afar.
We spoke to Development Team Lead Dmitry Lisichkin back in October to find out a little more about the game — check out our interview if you're curious to know more. The free-to-play game is coming to Switch eShop at the start of February.

Oh my Mario brothers
Maybe. Probably not. But it looks cool
Neat, although I'd rather they went for a full screen preview - I'm not THAT hard to convince that it's Switch footage! I prefer a clear view of the interface.😅
Thankfully, I more or less know what to expect from the game and I look forward to it. No size announced yet?
I am super desperate for some kind of MMO on the Switch. So I will give it a shot.
Wow, I thought this game died years ago but I suppose releasing it on Switch would inject some new players. It's a fun F2P game but was riddled with pay to progress tactics of I remember correctly.
Looks stale and boring. I bet that's docked footage super imposed on handheld mode to make it look better too.
Cool for those into it, but I'm not an MMO guy or F2P guy myself. I think intrird this years ago on PS4, wasn't bad gameplay, but the rest isn't for me.
Some MMOs are engaging, others aren't. I spent an absurd amount of time playing Neverwinter on PS4, had some fun with TERA, but I couldn't get into this. Not entirely sure why.
But since it's free to play, and it has been a while, I'll give it another try, why not?
nice visuals but feels like a generic mmo , maybe if it has something over new world , ashes of creation or crimson desert.
@ArlongKing01 blimey, a Warframe tier!😅 But I'll decide what to shelve when I get there.
I’ve played it a bit on PS4, if it runs well on switch it’ll probably be the best true MMO. I liked it a lot more than Onigiri but as F2P MMO’s are concerned I liked Neverwinter the best. Sky forge’s world building is kinda cheesy and they really lean into the fan service.
Welp.. the game doesn't even look close to this, and I got myself excited. Glad I didn't purchase anything. Fingers crossed for a graphic enhancing patch. This is unplayable.
Do not buy this I bought the founders version the graphics are absolutely terrible borderline unplaybe nothing like this video and there is sound issues constant frame issues. Would not recommend it
