Publisher Assemble Entertainment and solo developer Moral Anxiety Studio are thrilled to announce that Roadwarden, the award-winning illustrated text-based RPG, will launch on Nintendo Switch on August 25, 2025.

Set in a gritty, low-fantasy world full of mystery, danger, and moral dilemmas, Roadwarden puts players in the boots of a solitary traveler tasked with exploring an untamed peninsula. The game combines isometric pixel art, deep narrative design, and RPG elements such as inventory puzzles, dialogue choices, character builds, and survival mechanics.
You are a Roadwarden, a brave stranger putting their life in danger to make a difference in a grim fantasy world. While most people would never risk a solitary journey through the wilder parts of the land, you willingly accept the struggle. You guard travelers, connect isolated villages, support merchants, and repel attacking creatures, bandits, or even undead.
A powerful merchant guild has called on your services, sending you on a journey into the unknown planes of a mysterious peninsula in the hopes to expand the guild’s influence even further. You are meant to explore this place and gather as much information as possible to reveal the secrets surrounding the area. It’s a dangerous task, but an equally respectable one.

Other then that, your character will pursue a unique goal selected by you, such as wealth or fame. But do you have the courage to meet all the requirements that define a roadwarden?
Pre-orders are now available on the Nintendo eShop for EUR 10.99/USD, with a 20% launch discount. The game will launch globally on 25 August 2025, with a release in Korea to follow shortly after.
Step into the unknown. Shape your fate. And guard the roads.
