Akupara Games and Videocult are releasing Rain World Anthology on Nintendo Switch 2, they’ve announced. Launch timing has yet to be determined.

Rain World Anthology packages the base game with both Downpour and The Watcher expansions. We previously saw the game – a survival platformer – on Nintendo Switch a few years ago.

The game will be sold physically with a standard version and a collector’s edition. The standard edition ships with an embossed slip cover and has a soundtrack download card plus a holographic sticker sheet. With the collector’s edition, this adds an art book, a knitted Slugcat scarf, a linking keychain, a Shaker standee, and a collector’s box.

Here’s an overview of the game:

You are a slugcat. The world around you is full of danger, and you must face it – alone. Separated from your family in a devastating flood, you will need to find food and shelter between terrifying torrential downpours which threaten to drown all life. Climb through the ruins of an ancient civilization, evade the jaws of vicious predators, and discover new lands teeming with strange creatures and buried mysteries. Find your family before something makes a meal of you!

Inspired by the simplicity and aesthetics of 16-bit classics, this survival platformer requires clever decision-making, both to catch your own prey and to avoid the jaws of hungry predators. Each ravenous foe in your path will be cunning, vicious and always on the hunt – eager to sink their teeth into you, or even each other. As a small, soft slugcat you must rely on stealth and wit rather than force: learn the ecosystem and turn their strengths to your advantage. Maybe then you can survive… Rain World!
