Old Skies Launches on Nintendo Switch Next Week

Oh man, so, Wadjet Eye Games finally let the cat outta the bag about when Old Skies is dropping on the Nintendo Switch. Mark your calendars or set a reminder or whatever you do.

You’re stepping into the shoes of Fia Quinn. Cool name, right? She’s a time agent at this joint called ChronoZen. What’s the gig? Well, you’re basically babysitting these seven folks who are loaded enough to pay for a trip back in time. Yeah, time tourism is a thing. Who knew? Some of them are just curious; others got skeletons in the closet they need to deal with. Your mission, should you choose to accept it (or maybe you don’t have a choice…), is to keep ’em smiling and in line. No messing with history, right? Hah, easier said than done.

Anyway — wait, I got distracted — here’s the scoop on what to expect in the game:

First off, you’re getting seven slices of history to dig into. We’re talking the Prohibition’s speakeasies, rubbing elbows with Gilded Age gangsters, even waking up on the infamous morning of September 11th. Totally heavy stuff.

And dig this: the graphics are all fancy at 1920 x 1080 resolution. Like, that’s triple what you got in Unavowed. Pretty sure your eyeballs will thank you.

Now, for all you puzzle heads out there, get ready to twist your brain with some time-bending puzzles. It’s like a mental workout with a side of history.

Oh, and spoiler alert — death is on the menu. But, since you can time travel, it’s a bit of a “try, die, repeat” scenario. Kind of like life, but with less consequence maybe?

Got a soft spot for tunes? Thomas Regin’s the dude behind the music, if that name rings a bell. He’s got creds from Unavowed and the Blackwell series. Also, for those who like their characters chatty, there’s full-on voice acting. Biggest cast yet, they say.

So here’s the deal: Old Skies lands on the Nintendo eShop on May 27, 2025. Feels like a long way off, doesn’t it? But hey, time flies when you’re — well, you know.

Oh yeah, and there’s a trailer floating around somewhere too. Worth a watch if you’re into visuals and whatnot.
