Hello everyone,
As we count down the days until Ova Magica's console release, we have good and bad news. Originally, we had hoped to announce this alongside the console launch, but unfortunately it looks like timelines won't align to make it possible. To start with the good news, Ova Magica will be coming natively to Switch 2 - not just through backwards compatibility with Switch 1. We originally did not plan for this, given the game's development started much before Nintendo had officially announced the console. Supporting the new hardware required significant changes to our console codebase for native Switch 2 support.
As a result, we've needed a little more time to finish and polish the other console versions. While we are near the finish line, we want every console version to launch in the best possible state. and ensure stability across all of Ova Magica's announced console platforms.
We will now be planning a release date on 8th September 2026 for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation, and Xbox. All kickstarter requests will still be honored. Similarly, physical editions will still ship to all backers and also enter retail sale soon after launch, more news of which will be delivered soon. Thank you for your continued support.
