Raw Fury and Out of the Blue have confirmed a release date for their puzzle-platforming adventure American Arcadia on Nintendo Switch.
Welcome to Arcadia! In this ’70s retro-futuristic metropolis, citizens enjoy a life of luxury and comfort. What they are oblivious to is that they are being broadcast live 24/7 to millions of spectators in their homes. Arcadia is not an ordinary city but the most watched reality TV show on the planet, where a drop in popularity ratings can result in death.
This spells doom for Trevor Hills, an average man with an uninteresting life whose daily routine gets interrupted when he suddenly discovers that his life is not what it seems. Trevor’s only hope to survive is a mysterious voice guiding him through American Arcadia’s backstage. Behind this voice is Ángela Solano, an engineer who works at American Arcadia and is determined to help him escape. Using her technical prowess and wits, she will manipulate the world around Trevor, clearing the path to his freedom.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Two Experiences in One Game: Control two different characters in two different worlds with unique gameplay. Play as Trevor to flee Arcadia in a 2.5D puzzle-platformer all while exploring and hacking in first person to help him as Angela. Work together to defeat the powerful corporation that is trying to take them down.
- Escape a ’70s Televised Utopia: Experience a gripping new adventure crafted with all the trademark polish, artistry and mystery from the studio behind the award-winning Call of the Sea. Discover a rich story and unforgettable characters set in the world’s most dangerous reality TV show and filled with twists, turns and lies at every turn.
- Vibrant Characters & Performances: The incomparable voice talents of Yuri Lowenthal (Marvel’s Spider-Man, Prince of Persia, Call of the Sea), Krizia Bajos (Cyberpunk 2077, League of Legends, Star Trek: Resurgence) and Cissy Jones (Firewatch, Starfield, Call of the Sea) breathe life into the world and characters of American Arcadia.
American Arcadia will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 15 May 2025.
