Shark Jump has officially announced the single-player action-adventure game "Wind of Verdant Realm." The game is scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch 2 in early 2027, with a free demo now available on the Nintendo eShop.
The game tells the story of a young protagonist journeying to the "Great Tree" to restore balance to the world. Set in an ancient land filled with secrets and interconnected paths, players can run, slide, and leap into the air. As the journey progresses, the protagonist will meet new allies and gain new abilities, using these powers and items to access previously unreachable areas.
The game features real-time combat, where players must face hordes of enemies as well as large bosses. The protagonist is accompanied by a moth companion named "nocturnino," which not only helps locate relics but also participates in dodging, counterattacks, and combo attacks.
Media outlets have described the game's action-adventure structure as having connections to The Legend of Zelda series. Players can currently experience movement, exploration, and combat pacing through the demo version. The official release date and further details for the full version are yet to be announced.
