Shueisha Games today confirmed that its previously-announced project Bakudo will be launching on Nintendo Switch 2. The project is planned for 2027.

Bakudo is a sci-fi school drama and ball-sport boss-rush action game. The story revolves around Soliris Academy, where Yuria has ten days to defeat the Stellar Eight, its top-ranked students.

Learn more about what to expect with the following overview:

Experience the unique combat system of BAKUDO—an all-new ball game packed with excitement and tension. On a battlefield with no rules or limits, your determination is your greatest weapon. Every competitor stakes it all, pulling out every trick to claim ultimate supremacy. In the BAKUDO arena, fiery determination and unshakeable spirit collide!

In BAKUDO, strength is everything.

Soliris Academy is the prestigious school where everyone chasing the title of top Corestriker comes to test themselves. Yuria arrives there following a lead on her missing father, but breaks the rules during her entrance exam to save a fellow examinee in danger, and her admission is revoked on the spot.

That’s when Aria appears, the strongest student at Soliris Academy and the one who stands atop its ranked Stellar Eight. She hands Yuria an ultimatum: defeat the Stellar Eight within ten days, or leave the academy for good.

With her partner Evie at her side, Yuria races to meet that challenge. But behind the academy’s glittering reputation lies a secret that could decide the fate of the world.

When Ball-Sport Combat Meets Action

Engage in real-time battles against formidable bosses with a unique, fast-paced combat system centered around dynamic ball-throwing techniques. Observe your opponents, learn their movements, and exploit their weaknesses to seize victory.

Are you ready to enter this battlefield fueled by fiery determination?

Yuria’s targets: the academy’s ruling eight, the Stellar Eight. Each one fights with a completely different style, so no two battles ever feel the same. Study your opponent’s moves, find your opening, and strike when it counts.
Character

A new student in Soliris Academy’s Coreball Department. She enrolled chasing the one clue her missing father left behind. When someone’s in trouble, she’s moving before she’s even decided to. The one thing she can’t handle? Someone being nice to her.

An upperclassman in the Support Department and a genius inventor. The kind of bright, easygoing mood-maker who clicks with anyone in minutes, and Yuria’s partner through it all. She never stops teasing her, but when it counts, there’s no one more reliable.

The top-ranked member of the Stellar Eight. A genius nobody disputes. Calm, composed, and a woman of few words, she rarely lets her feelings show. She’s also the one who hands Yuria an impossible trial.
