What’s going on?
If you liked tag-team puzzling in games like It Takes Two, here’s one to add to your wishlist: Out Of Words is a stop-motion style co-op adventure that’s been locked in for Switch 2. It’s being made by Kong Orange, Wired Fly, and Morten Søndergaard, and Epic Games is handling publishing duties. Expect a 2026 release.
The vibe and story
Play as Kurt and Karla, a pair of mouthless oddballs who stumble through the colorful, handcrafted world of Vokabulantis. The premise revolves around recovering lost voices — think heartfelt, weird, and a little whimsical — with everything looking like it was lovingly made frame-by-frame.
How it plays
The game leans into cooperative play: grab a buddy for local couch co-op or pair up online with cross-platform support. From the demos shown at Summer Game Fest 2025, people came away impressed — the stop-motion look and tactile environments were big highlights alongside the teamwork-focused puzzles and platforming.
Where and when
Out Of Words is slated for 2026 and has been confirmed for the Switch 2. For context, recent announcements around Switch 2 also mentioned Pragmata and Mega Man: Dual Override — the latter is headed to both the new system and the original Switch.
Final thoughts
If handcrafted visuals, cozy co-op, and quirky stories are your jam, this one’s worth keeping an eye on. Will you be snagging it when it drops? Sound off in the comments — or at least scream into a pillow like Kurt and Karla might have to.
