Total Chaos getting Nintendo Switch 2 release

Apogee Entertainment and developer Sam Prebble of Trigger Happy Interactive, in partnership with Atari publishing label Infogrames, have just announced plans for a new Nintendo Switch 2 version of the psychological horror game Total Chaos. It’ll be out on April 29, 2026.

The Nintendo Switch 2 version will run at 1080p when docked and 720p for handheld play with selectable performance and unlocked frame rate modes targeting 60 frames per second. It’ll come with support for optional Joy-Con 2 mouse and gyro controls. Also included is the latest game content introduced with the recently released New Game+ update, including an alternate ending, a new stalker enemy type (The Hunter), and more.

Here’s some additional information about Total Chaos:

Total Chaos is a pulse-pounding, atmospheric nightmare that blends hallmarks of different eras of survival horror. It pulls players into the abyss of Fort Oasis, a desolate wasteland once considered paradise by its coal-mining community. A shadow looms over the island, evoking a sense of madness that can only be described as the feeling of being constantly watched. Monstrosities lurk around every corner of the island’s heart, trapping anybody daring enough to enter the void. While shooting and bludgeoning through these twisted foes, players will unearth fragments of forgotten lives to piece together the chilling mystery of Fort Oasis’ demise (and their connection to it) before their sanity runs dry.

What began as an award-winning total conversion mod of DOOM II has now evolved into a fully standalone title, boasting a spine-tingling atmosphere and an aggressively uneasy tension throughout. Developer Sam Prebble leveraged his game (Turbo Overkill) and Hollywood (Avatar, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Rise of the Planet of the Apes) visual effects talents to deliver a full-scale survival horror experience that gnaws away at players’ sense of safety.

Key Features

• Immersive Atmosphere: Explore the decayed ruins of Fort Oasis across nine harrowing chapters, each drenched in dread, plunging you deeper into its oppressive, decaying world.
• Environmental Storytelling: Uncover the island’s darkest secrets and confront your own fractured past through cryptic notes, haunting visuals, and unsettling encounters.
• Crafting for Survival: Build and upgrade weapons using scavenged materials to stand a chance against the relentless terrors stalking you.
• Face Freakish Foes: Engage against horrific creatures, each with their own deadly behaviors and strategies.
• Resource Management: Navigate a deep inventory system where every item matters — your survival hinges on careful choices, crafting the perfect weapon, and quick thinking on the fly.
• A Haunting Original Soundtrack: Total Chaos features an original theme and end credits track by legendary Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka, joined by original Total Chaos mod composers Jason Dagenet and William Braddell, and Apogee’s music team, Chipper Hammond, Tim Stoney, and Mathieu Hallouin. Together, they’ve crafted an ambient, nightmare-inducing soundscape that blurs the line between music and madness.
• New Game+: Upon completing the game, start over to experience expanded story content, an alternate ending, new death animations, and unexplored locations — all while a persistent stalker, The Hunter, tracks your every move.
