Summary
September 3, 2026 is the launch date for Orbitals, a Switch 2 exclusive two-player puzzle adventure shown at Summer Game Fest 2026.
Vertical split-screen co-op drives the game: players swap tools, divide ship duties and solve playful asymmetrical puzzles involving lasers, grappling hooks, repairs and timed button tasks.
Shapefarm said the wider game expands beyond the demo with space travel, planetary puzzle sections, hub activities, minigames and some side-scrolling segments that bring both players back onto one shared screen.
’80s-’90s anime styling is a major hook, with Studio Massket handling art and cutscenes, original Gundam artist Toru Yoshida contributing as guest director, and English dubs joining Japanese audio.
