Ball-sport boss-rush action indie game, BAKUDO is heading to the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027. We had the chance to test out the game’s early development during PAX West in 2025 that provided high octane action with very challenging battles. Battles were intense where players will need to understand the game’s mechanics to initiate the right command before the opposing character tries to score and win.
With only one character to test out, the announcement trailer showcases three main characters: Yuria, Evie, Aria. Below is a few details about each character.
- Yuria
A new student in Soliris Academy’s Coreball Department. She enrolled chasing the one clue her missing father left behind. When someone’s in trouble, she’s moving before she’s even decided to. The one thing she can’t handle? Someone being nice to her. - Evie
An upperclassman in the Support Department and a genius inventor. The kind of bright, easygoing mood maker who clicks with anyone in minutes, and Yuria’s partner through it all. She never stops teasing her, but when it counts, there’s no one more reliable. - Aria
The top-ranked member of the Stellar Eight. A genius nobody disputes. Calm, composed, and a woman of few words, she rarely lets her feelings show. She’s also the one who hands Yuria an impossible trial.
With the announcement the project is releasing in 2027, we’re looking forward how much progress the game has made.
BAKUDO announced to release in 2027 for the Nintendo Switch 2 and PC (Steam). Players can visit the game’s official website for additional information.
