Action adventure game Winds of Viridia announced for Switch 2 and PC
Shark Jump has officially announced Winds of Viridia, an action-adventure title slated for release on Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam in early 2027. A playable demo is currently available for both platforms.
Set in a wild, uncharted landscape, the game follows an adventure through the valley of the towering Grantree. Players will investigate the cause of a mysterious frenzy driving local creatures mad while uncovering secrets and finding lost relics. The journey includes encounters with massive bosses, such as living statues and ancient guardians.
The gameplay emphasizes fast-paced, fluid movement, allowing players to roll, slide, flip, and use a grapple to navigate a seamless world. A key mechanic involves equipping and combining powerful totems to customize the playstyle. Players will also be accompanied by a companion named Mothbug to assist in both exploration and combat.
The game features a sweeping orchestral score composed by the renowned Kevin Penkin and Christopher Larkin.
