Orbitals video game release

Overview

The cooperative anime-style adventure game Orbitals, developed by Shapefarm and Kepler Interactive, was scheduled for a September 3 release as a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive. The game features protagonists Maki and Omura solving space-themed puzzles through tandem gameplay involving tools such as grappling hooks, lasers, and water hoses.

In anticipation of the launch, promotional activities included a cooperative website inspired by 1980s and 1990s game manuals and a pop-up store and art gallery in Kyoto, Japan. The game’s aesthetic draws inspiration from classic works like “AKIRA” and “Dragon Ball,” utilizing hand-crafted cinematic cutscenes from Studio Massket and offering both Japanese and English voice acting.
