Dual-Player Interactive Website Now Live!
One week before the official release, publisher and creative studio Kepler Interactive and developer Shapefarm announced several player interaction initiatives for their upcoming retro anime-style new title, Orbital Twins. The game will launch exclusively on the Nintendo Switch™ 2 platform on September 3.
New Co-op Website Launches!
A multiplayer interactive website specially created for Orbital Twins is now live, allowing players to delve deeper into the game's characters and worldview. Inspired by classic paper instruction manuals from the 80s and 90s, the site requires two players to access the page simultaneously and solve puzzles together to turn pages and uncover all its secrets. Currently, the site is accessible via PC only and does not support Chinese.
Try Orbital Twins Early at Gamescom This Week!
Attendees at this year's Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, can get an early taste of the Orbital Twins Global Friend Pass demo during the event. Players can visit Hall 9, where Nintendo is located, to experience the demo with friends. Those who try the demo have a chance to receive limited-edition Orbital Twins space-themed stickers, available while supplies last.
The Global Friend Pass will launch alongside the game on September 3.
