The Midnight Walk Makes Its Way to Nintendo Switch 2
MoonHood’s underrated adventure game The Midnight Walk, one of the most underrated titles to release on the PS5 in 2025, is on its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. The announcement of the ambitious and uniquely beautiful indie title’s Switch 2 port comes from Nintendo’s Indie World showcase of March 2026, where the title was given a release date of March 26, 2026. At the time of writing, the well-received horror adventure sits at an 80 on OpenCritic, with 83% of critics recommending the game.
Widely regarded as one of 2025’s best horror games, The Midnight Walk takes place in a horrific and dangerous world overcome by endless night. In this dark and desolate realm, fire is a crucially key element, with matches and flames lighting the way, burning obstacles down, and even serving as sustenance for some of the game’s bizarre and unsettling creatures. Players will venture to the top of a mysterious mountain, accompanied by a small creature that houses the all-important flame that may be key to lighting the world once again. Solving puzzles and discovering truths about the land you’re exploring are keys to survival in the terrifying quest. A wide variety of creatures and characters lie in wait along this journey, with some offering assistance and some forcing players to hide in terror.
The most immediately striking aspect of The Midnight Walk is its beautiful use of a stop-motion art style. The game evokes thoughts of Tim Burton’s beautiful animated films The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride. Characters and enemies were handcrafted and scanned into the game, giving every element of the game a genuinely breathtaking aesthetic. On top of its unique visual style, The Midnight Walk features a handful of gameplay elements that stand out even among most horror games. Fire impacts the world in surprisingly deep ways, and sight plays a major factor as well. Certain elements of the game will respond to the main character closing their eyes, with new sounds appearing and even physical obstacles vanishing depending on where the player chooses to look.
The Midnight Walk feels like a horror game that fits the Nintendo Switch 2 exceedingly well. Its scope, style and storytelling make it an excellent pick-up-and-play title that can benefit from being available on the go. The game feels visually suited for Nintendo’s console, with a healthy mix of whimsy and terror that should appeal to Switch 2 players. After being somewhat overlooked by many in 2025, The Midnight Walk‘s Switch 2 release is an excellent way to rekindle the hype behind this one-of-a-kind adventure game.
