Jonathan Blow,the man who once made you feel like a genius and an idiot in the same breath,just gave Switch 2 owners a reason to mark a blank calendar.At The Game Awards last December,Blow revealed Order of the Sinking Star—a"massive puzzle mash-up"that sounds less like a game and more like a beautiful trap for your frontal lobe.Back then,it was just a PC thing.
Now,Blow has confirmed it's also coming to Nintendo Switch 2 sometime in 2026.Same vague window.Same cryptic energy.No,there's still no release date,and no,Blow isn't sorry about it.But here's where it gets interesting.Game Informer's Marcus Stewart went hands-on before the reveal and came away genuinely rattled—in the best way.He called it impressive,and coming from someone who's played enough puzzle games to be numb,that's not nothing.The real story isn't the platform update.It's the quiet confidence of a designer who refuses to rush.
Blow isn't chasing a launch window;he's waiting until the last piece of that"mash-up"clicks into place.And for a game that demands patience from its players,maybe it deserves a creator who demands the same from himself.Order of the Sinking Star lands on Switch 2 and PC this year.Whenever"this year"actually means.
