Sandbox Survival Game Nira to Launch on Switch This Spring

Survive procedurally-generated islands on the Nintendo Switch with sandbox survival adventure game Nira from Graffiti Games and Baseline Games. This was announced for the hybrid console during the MIX Game Dev Direct event, and Nira will be available this spring on the Nintendo Switch and PC.

In Nira, you explore procedurally-generated islands filled with fast-paced building, crafting, fighting, farming, and quests. Build a base, hunt, cook, battle ogres, make friends with a mysterious Totem, ride an alpaca, fly a plane, and do whatever is needed to survive.

While battling to remain alive, unravel the story of a mysterious Totem by befriending it and taking on the quests it gives. Offer items to gain experience and upgrade the Totem to unlock superior quests that grant even more experience.

“A goal of mine for Nira was to bring the game to console, and thanks to Graffiti Games we’re able to have Nira launch on the Nintendo Switch,” said Barry, founder and developer at Baseline Games. “The minimalistic pixel-art and fast-paced gameplay are perfect for the portability of the Switch. I’m excited to see what Nintendo fans think of Nira, and I hope it can become an open-world survival game that players won’t be able to put down.”
