Switch 2 is shaping up to be a solid home for strategy RPG fans. NIS America has announced a partnership with Happinet to publish Brigandine: Abyss, a brand-new entry in the Brigandine franchise, launching on the platform this August, according to Nintendo Life.
A storied series returns
Brigandine has a history worth respecting - the original PlayStation title built a dedicated cult following back in the late '90s with its deep tactical gameplay and nation-versus-nation conquest systems. The series saw a revival with Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia on Switch in 2020, so Abyss represents the next step forward for the franchise rather than a simple remaster or re-release.
Details on Abyss are still fairly slim at this stage, but the fact that NIS America is positioning it as a brand-new entry rather than a port or remake suggests the team is building something fresh within the established framework fans know and love.
Physical release confirmed
In good news for collectors and shelf-fillers everywhere, Nintendo Life reports that Brigandine: Abyss is set to receive a proper physical release alongside its digital version. That's a meaningful detail for a genre that often skews toward digital-only releases on portable hardware, and it signals NIS America's confidence in the title's commercial appeal.
The Switch 2 continues to attract strategy RPG releases, making it a compelling destination for fans of the genre. With an August window confirmed, Brigandine: Abyss is positioned as a summer release that could give tactics enthusiasts plenty to dig into during the warmer months.
No pricing details or a specific release date beyond August have been confirmed yet. Expect more information from NIS America as the launch window gets closer.
