British publisher Kwalee and independent development studio Clover Bite have officially announced that the dark metroidvania Grime II will be released on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on November 26, 2026.
A new chapter of a bizarre universe
Grime II is a direct sequel to the warmly received 2021 original action game. The sequel expands the unsettling surreal world, sending players to new wondrous lands with unique locations crafted from giant vases, painted nails, and other unusual elements.
The protagonist is the Formless, an artistic mimic capable of absorbing enemies and creating forms (molds) in their likeness. You will be able to combine a variety of abilities, weapons, and summoned forms for both dynamic combat and exploring secret paths.
Key features of the game:
- Mold system (Molds): absorb defeated enemies and turn them into special attacks, projectiles, stun effects, or full-fledged minions.
- Interactive environment: use the surrounding world to deal damage to enemies both up close and at a distance.
- Parrying and grasping: use tentacles to deflect enemy strikes and absorb opponents.
- Somber atmosphere: explore a world with distinctive cultures and deep characters.
Final update right at launch
The release on the Switch family of consoles will include the free story expansion A Final Coda, which wraps up the storylines of both parts, unlocks a new post-game platforming area, and adds a boss rematch mode.
