Knights Peak and Windup Games have shared a new trailer for their heartwarming third-person open-world adventure Hela, which is in development for Nintendo Switch 2.
This debut game from the creators behind the Unravel series is set in the beautiful northern Scandinavian nature, and tells the story of a kind Witch and her familiars – agile mice with magical abilities.
The friendly Witch has long used her magic to help the local folk, but she has now fallen ill and needs help herself. It’s up to you to set out on a quest to heal the Witch, in an adventure that combines the exploration of magical landscapes, foraging, puzzles, action and brewing.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Explore & Discover: Traverse an expansive, lovingly crafted region inspired by Scandinavia, full of magical forests, tranquil lakes, and rugged mountains.
- Magical Backpack: Use your trusty backpack to interact with the world, collect resources, and solve puzzles.
- Realistic Physics: Engage with objects that behave realistically, adding a layer of immersion to your magical excursions.
- Dynamic Environments: Adapt to a world that is constantly changing, and contend with the adversity of the natural world.
- Puzzle Solving: Challenge your mind with engaging puzzles that blend seamlessly with the story, enriching your journey with rewarding challenge.
- Heal the World: Influence the world of Hela through acts of kindness, witnessing their transformative effects on characters and yourself.
- Play Together: Experience the journey solo or together with friends through local split-screen or online modes
Hela will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide in 2026.
