No. End of Abyss has not been announced for Nintendo Switch 2 or the original Switch. The confirmed platforms are PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Epic Games Store). When asked about Switch 2, co-founder Mattias Ottvall said there are no plans at the moment, though the team likes Nintendo's platforms.
End of Abyss is not announced for Switch 2
The official platform list for End of Abyss is PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via the Epic Games Store. The developer's website lists no Nintendo platform and links to no Nintendo eShop page. The publisher press release reported by Gematsu names the same three platforms.
Game8's release coverage also notes that the game has not been announced for Nintendo platforms. It releases on October 1, 2026 without a Switch or Switch 2 version.
What the developer said
Shacknews asked Section 9 Interactive about Switch directly. Co-founder Mattias Ottvall answered that since Switch 2, there are no plans at the moment. He added that the team really likes Nintendo's platforms and would share more if that comes up.
That is not a refusal, but it is not an announcement either. Until Section 9 Interactive or Epic confirms a Nintendo version, treat End of Abyss as unavailable on Switch 2.
Beware of fake Switch 2 gameplay videos
YouTube has videos titled "End of Abyss Nintendo Switch 2 gameplay" that were uploaded before launch. No Switch 2 build has been announced, so these videos cannot be real footage of the game on that console.
Reliable gameplay comes from press previews on PS5, Xbox and PC, and from the official trailers. The official release date trailer is on our homepage.

The one Switch 2 tie-in: Fortnite
The only End of Abyss content you can use on a Nintendo console is the Fortnite Cel Outfit. It is linked to your Epic account, so it works in Fortnite on Switch 2 as well as PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
It is free when you buy End of Abyss on the Epic Games Store, including pre-purchases. Otherwise, it is sold in the Fortnite Item Shop for 1,500 V-Bucks from October 1 at 8 PM ET. See the pre-order page for the full rules.
Why a small team might focus on three platforms
Section 9 Interactive is a studio of about nine developers in Malmö, and End of Abyss is its first game. It is published by Epic Games and built in Unreal Engine. The team has not given a specific reason for skipping Nintendo platforms beyond saying there are no plans at the moment.
Read more about the studio on the developer page.
What Switch 2 owners are missing
End of Abyss is a single-player, top-down twin-stick sci-fi horror game with Metroidvania progression. You play as Cel, a young combat technician, exploring an abandoned underground compound full of grotesque creatures. It comes from Section 9 Interactive, a Malmö studio founded by former Tarsier Studios leads who worked on Little Nightmares.
Its core systems are a Scanner that tags doors, weak walls and enemies on your map, crafting at workbenches with fragments, and save points that heal you but respawn most enemies. Hands-on previewers from GameSpot, Game Informer and VDGMS have been enthusiastic about it. The wiki overview has every confirmed detail.
