Shark Jump announces Winds of Viridia for Nintendo Switch 2 and PC

Developer Shark Jump has officially announced Winds of Viridia, an action-adventure fantasy game scheduled for release in early 2027. The title is confirmed for PC via Steam and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. A playable demo is currently available on both platforms.

Set in a vast valley dominated by a colossal tree known as Grantree, the game follows players as they investigate a mysterious frenzy causing local creatures to become aggressive. The gameplay features fluid movement mechanics, including rolling, sliding, and acrobatics, alongside environmental traversal using exotic plants.

Combat focuses on dynamic encounters with various creatures and large-scale boss battles against animated statues and ancient guardians. Players can also interact with a companion named Mothbug to assist in exploration and combat. The game will feature an orchestral soundtrack composed by Kevin Penkin and Christopher Larkin.
