Overview

• Kitfox Games and Freehold Games confirmed that Caves of Qud will launch on Nintendo Switch in the fourth quarter of 2025.
• The port will maintain the game’s deep physical simulation, letting players dig, corrode or melt walls and environments based on material properties.
• Fully simulated creatures and NPCs with evolving levels, skills and allegiances will drive emergent narratives on the handheld version.
• Switch players will have access to more than 70 dynamic factions and four distinct modes—Classic permadeath, checkpointed Roleplay, nonhostile Wander and fixed-seed Daily.
• After fifteen years in PC early access and a December 2024 full release featuring a final main quest, revamped UI and original soundtrack, Caves of Qud is ready for its first console launch.
