Castlebound, the 2D co-op action platformer from Mexican studio Ogre Pixel, releases on Wednesday, November 11, 2026 on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. The game, which was fully funded on Kickstarter within four hours according to its developer, asks you to defend a bewitched castle that has turned into a walking fortress.
The concept
- You lead Lenora, a skilled archer, and her grandfather Vargus, who awaken an ancient castle that transforms into a living, walking fortress (Steam page).
- The castle travels through mythical forests, ghostly graveyards, deserts and volcanoes while forest creatures, ghosts, giant trolls and dragons attack it in waves (Ogre Pixel press release).
- Four heroes with different styles are named: Lenora’s arrows, Vargus’ magic, Garrik’s knightly attacks and Quinn’s slingshot.
Solo or co-op, with roguelike progression
- Playable solo or with up to four players. Steam lists Remote Play Together; GameGrin describes online and local play, and the Nintendo listing indicates 1 to 4 players on one system, according to UpgradedGames.
- If the party falls, Soul Coins are spent inside the castle to upgrade heroes, unlock abilities and improve the odds of the next run.
- Languages announced: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, and German.
Price and release time
- No price or global unlock time was published in the sources we read; the Steam page still showed a countdown on the morning of November 11 (Paris time). Check your regional Steam or Nintendo eShop listing.
- A demo was released for Steam Next Fest in October 2026 (Steam announcement).
