Dark Scrolls receives Nintendo Switch release date, new trailer
Just after it was announced not too long ago, Devolver Digital and Doinksoft have nailed down the release date for Dark Scrolls. The game is hitting Nintendo Switch on May 28, 2026.
Dark Scrolls, a retro-styled dungeon scroller that combines those good good arcade vibes with handcrafted, roguelike-powered progression, was only revealed about a month ago. The project last had a general 2026 launch window.
As a reminder, here’s what to expect from the game:
Choose from a hefty cast of playable characters – including an axe-throwing warrior, a spell-slinging magician, a knife-hurling thief, or weirder heroes like a cute dog, an alien, or a rat playing a saxophone – and test your skills solo or in local or online co-op.
Key Features
- Choose from a cast of nine playable characters and hurl axes, fling arrows, toss knives and even flip steaks at a rogues’ gallery of bizarre enemies
- Each character, whether they’re a burly berserker or a saxophone-playing rat, has unique skills, side objectives and customizable trinkets to experiment with
- Super authentic old school visuals, SFX and music. Looks and sounds like classic games of yore, but with the sparkle of modern controls and design
- Procedurally generated levels stitched together from hand-crafted rooms. Every run offers new surprises, branching paths and skill-testing bosses
Sharp reflexes and split-second decisions are crucial to survival. Gobble up coins to spend at Bruce & Goose’s Shoppe as you take a breath from the action to gain new perks, devastating attacks and summoned allies. Stack them right, and you’ll unleash screen-filling destruction that is the stuff of arcade legends.
A new trailer promoting the release date for Dark Scrolls can be found below.
