NINTENDO SWITCH / SWITCH 2 / PC / PLATFORM UPDATE
Some games make an impression by being colourful and cheerful. GRIME II takes a different approach, presenting a world that appears to have been assembled from unsettling sculptures and a few things nobody should have touched.
Kwalee and developer Clover Bite have confirmed that the action-adventure sequel arrives on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on 26 November 2026. The announcement comes with more than a new place to play: a free content update is also coming to existing platforms.
A Final Coda closes the thread
The update, A Final Coda, continues a story thread from the original GRIME and its sequel. It unlocks after finishing the main game and adds a new area with challenging platforming sections designed to test the abilities players have developed along the way.
There’s also a boss-refighting system, so anyone keen to revisit a particularly dreadful encounter will have the chance to do so. We can only assume some players enjoy being flattened by the same boss twice.
Who gets what?
According to the publisher, the new content will be included in the Nintendo versions when they arrive. Players on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S are due to receive it through a free update.
That is good news for people who already own the game and weren’t planning to collect another version just to see the final chapter. More post-game content is always welcome, particularly when it isn’t carved into a separate purchase.
Worth watching
GRIME II builds on the original’s unsettling visual identity and combat centred on absorbing and stealing forms. Bringing that peculiar world to Nintendo broadens its audience, while the free addition gives existing players a reason to return.
As always, this is announcement coverage, not a hands-on assessment of Switch performance or frame rate. We’ll reserve those details until somebody actually gets a build onto the hardware.
