Annapurna Interactive is bringing five games to Nintendo Switch 2, with *Stray*, *to a T*, and *Wanderstop* arriving between May 28 and June 23. (youtube.com) Annapurna’s new Switch 2 lineup trailer lists *Stray* for May 28, 2026, *to a T* for June 11, and *Wanderstop* for June 23. The same trailer says *Sayonara Wild Hearts* and *Lorelei and the Laser Eyes* are already available on the system. (youtube.com) *Stray* is the most direct upgrade: Nintendo Everything reported that the Switch 2 version adds improved visuals, 4K resolution, better frame rates, and mouse controls over the earlier Switch release. Nintendo’s U.K. store lists the original Switch edition’s release date as November 19, 2024. (nintendoeverything.com) (nintendo.com) The release pattern shows Annapurna treating Switch 2 as more than a backward-compatibility box. Nintendo says Switch 2 can play compatible original Switch games, but these Annapurna releases are being sold and promoted as native Switch 2 editions with platform-specific upgrades. (nintendo.com) (nintendoeverything.com) That matters for Annapurna because its catalog leans on style, mood, and interface as much as raw content. *Sayonara Wild Hearts* is billed by Annapurna as “a pop album video game,” while *Lorelei and the Laser Eyes* is a puzzle mystery set in an old hotel in central Europe. (annapurnainteractive.com 1) (annapurnainteractive.com 2) The three incoming games also cover distinct corners of Annapurna’s slate. Annapurna describes *Wanderstop* as a narrative game about “change and tea,” and earlier materials for *to a T* identified it as a 3D narrative adventure from *Katamari Damacy* creator Keita Takahashi. (annapurnainteractive.com) (youtube.com) *Stray* already has the broadest recognition of the group. Annapurna’s game page describes it as a third-person cat adventure from BlueTwelve Studio set in a neon cybercity, and Gematsu reported the Switch 2 edition will cost $29.99 on the Nintendo eShop. (annapurnainteractive.com) (gematsu.com) For Nintendo Switch 2, the early Annapurna mix is unusually art-house: a rhythm game, a puzzle mystery, a cat adventure, a tea-shop drama, and Keita Takahashi’s latest oddball narrative game. By late June, the system’s first Annapurna wave will span five releases in about two months. (youtube.com) (gameinformer.com)
