Nintendo Switch to Launch Vessels of Decay This Summer

Headup is thrilled to announce that they are bringing the post-apocalyptic action-adventure game, Vessels of Decay, to the Nintendo Switch.

Created by the talented team at Simon Jakobsson and Aurora Punks, this game transports you into a retro-themed adventure alongside Freja and Mud. You’ll face mythical beasts from Scandinavian folklore and navigate through the remnants of a long-lost civilization.

Dieter Schoeller, CEO of Headup, couldn’t contain his excitement: "Collaborating with Simon Jakobsson and Aurora Punks to launch Vessels of Decay to a global audience is a thrill for us. The game masterfully weaves in elements of Scandinavian mythology, combined with intense action and striking retro visuals. It’s a unique combination, and we’re eager for players to immerse themselves in its eerie landscapes."

The development team has highlighted some of the game’s standout features:

• Dynamic Battle System: The way you engage in combat is entirely up to you, and even how your foes meet their end is in your hands!

• Unique Finishers: Every new adversary you face is a fresh canvas for your combat skills. Knock them off balance and watch as killer animations unfold.

• Epic Multi-Stage Boss Encounters: The legendary creatures of Scandinavian folklore are no easy prey. You’ll need a blend of strategy and quick reflexes to hunt them down.

• Explore A Beautiful World of Pixels, Death, and Decay: Each scene, narrative twist, and environment in Vessels of Decay is crafted with meticulous attention to detail.

• A Scandinavian Take on Classic Action-Adventure: Step into a world where the ruins of a bygone civilization meet the resurgence of nature and mythical forces. This setting offers a unique Scandinavian flavor through introspective exploration and high-octane action.

Mark your calendars because Vessels of Decay is set to make its digital debut on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide in the summer of 2025.
