Fans of atmospheric platformers have reason to celebrate, Limited Run Games has announced a physical edition of Worldless for the Nintendo Switch. Originally released in 2023 as a digital-only title, the 2D adventure platformer will soon be available in cartridge form for collectors and fans who prefer physical media.
Unlike some of the company’s previous projects, this release won’t come with deluxe packaging or collector’s editions. However, players picking up the physical version will still receive a booklet alongside the standard copy.

The game blends platforming exploration with a unique active, turn-based combat system. Players traverse intricate, interconnected environments using abilities like wall-jumps and dashes to uncover hidden paths, secrets, and lore. When confronted by hostile beings, combat shifts to a hybrid system that fuses strategy with timing-based mechanics, rewarding skillful execution and mastery of the game’s systems.
