Spiral releasing on Steam and Xbox on September 20th, 2024

Folklore Games announced their narrative-adventure game, Spiral, will arrive on Steam and Epic for a PC Release + Xbox for console, as a self-published title. Taking players on an emotional journey, this is a story that offers a unique perspective on cognitive degeneration, told by the individual experiencing it.

Release Date Trailer – Spiral – September 2024

Spiral puts players in the shoes of Bernard Penfield, an introverted writer who is coming to the end of his journey but invites you to go back to the beginning and help him re-experience his memories one last time. Exploring the memories of Bernard at different phases in his life, players will also meet a cast of diverse characters in his family and friends who guide him through life’s biggest moments. While the cognitive degeneration will gradually become more present within the story, exploring his memories thoroughly may help Bernard to hold onto details longer and share things that might otherwise be lost forever.

“We’re so proud of Spiral; events and interactions with people made us understand the why behind our project even more. It has been helping people to talk about their grief, opening a discussion and bringing people to see the person behind the sickness. Spiral will hopefully be that window where people can share their own story with cognitive degeneration and make us all more aware of the loneliness of it all and how much our presence can help.” – Mikhael, Creative Director

Releasing on Steam at $23.99 USD, Spiral will be available for purchase at 10 AM EST on September 20th, 2024. In the meantime, gamers can also pick up the free demo and add it to their wishlist. Following its PC and Xbox Release, the game will also be available for purchase on PS5 and Switch at a later date.

Bohemia Interactive is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition, which will be released exclusively for digital download on the Nintendo Switch on June 20th worldwide. This release marks Bohemia Interactive’s second game on the Nintendo Switch platform, following the previous success of Vigor.

Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition (priced at $24.99 USD/€24.99 EUR) is the ultimate creative open-world adventure game. Prepare to be immersed in an enchanting, low-poly universe, optimized to deliver a seamless gaming experience on the Switch. The game features core gameplay mechanics focused on exploration, sailing, crafting, building, and light survival elements. This combination of mechanics offers a unique and engaging experience for players of all ages.

On their own fully customizable ship, players will traverse six distinct regions, each filled with unique fauna, flora, and random encounters that keep the adventure fresh and exciting. Ylands empowers players to make use of thousands of items to craft and build with, progressing through a comprehensive tech tree that adds depth and variety to the gameplay. The game gently onboards players by recruiting them to the Classy Adventurers Guild, where they embark on an incredible journey, armed with their trusty handbook, and sail towards endless adventures.

What makes the Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition version of the game unique, is that it will be available as a single-player offline game, which offers the popular Adventure and Creative game modes to cater to different play styles.

Perhaps better known for their genre-defining hits Arma and DayZ, Bohemia Interactive has been redeveloping Ylands to ensure players have a fantastic experience whether they are playing at home or on the go, on their TV screens or via handheld with the following changes worth highlighting:

Play Ylands Offline For The First Time
Ylands will be able to be played fully offline only on the Switch, which is a first for this series. After download and initial launch, players don’t need an active internet connection to play the game. All player game worlds, creations and progress is stored locally which ensures smooth uninterrupted sailing, wherever they choose to play.

Buy Once, Play Forever
While Ylands on PC is a free-to-play title Bohemia Interactive has elected for a simpler pay upfront premium model for the Switch edition This, in combination with its offline nature, means there are no pay-to-progress mechanics, less of a need to grind in order to accumulate resources and no monetization pushes. All planned updates for Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition will always be included for no additional cost with the option to purchase optional cosmetic DLC packages also supported.

Optimised Controls and UI with Stable Framerate
Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition has been optimized to take full advantage of the hardware & boasts a stable framerate plus a user interface that has been designed with both TV and handheld play in mind.

Safe Single Player For All Ages
Due to its offline structure, Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition is a 100% safe gaming environment for younger players with zero microtransaction prompts and no risk of negative interactions with other players. There is no gore or graphic violence in the game, which makes it a perfect experience for younger players.

Adventure and Creative Modes
Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition is an experience that supports and encourages creative development and thinking at every stage. There are virtually unlimited building opportunities available to the player; both in the more story-centric Adventure mode and the sandbox-orientated Creative mode. If players don’t wish to create from the ground-up it will also be possible to purchase different types of buildings, ships and even pets via the Nintendo eShop.


With the full release scheduled for next month (June), excited adventurers can now add Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition to their wishlist on the Nintendo eShop. This is the perfect opportunity to prepare for an engaging and creative adventure where your skills in exploration, crafting, and survival will be put to the test in a beautiful and enchanting world.
