Quartet Finally Lands

Something Classic’s turn-based role-playing game Quartet is finally coming to Nintendo Switch on April 30, 2026. (nintendo.com) (nintendoeverything.com) Nintendo’s U.S. store lists Quartet as a digital Switch release from Something Classic with a $19.99 price, a 691 megabyte file size, and support for TV, tabletop, and handheld play. (nintendo.com) The game starts with four separate storylines that players can tackle in any order, then folds them into a single campaign with eight total heroes. Nintendo Everything says the full role-playing game runs about 20 to 30 hours. (nintendoeverything.com) Quartet’s combat system uses four active party members and four reserves, with reserve characters regenerating action points faster and taking a turn immediately when swapped in. That setup is the game’s main mechanical hook. (nintendoeverything.com) (quartetrpg.com) The Switch date closes a long gap between announcement and release. Nintendo Everything reported in late 2021 that Quartet was planned for Switch in 2022. (nintendoeverything.com) That 2022 window slipped again after Something Classic set a new schedule in May 2025: PC on August 26, 2025, followed by PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Switch in late 2025. (gematsu.com) The PC version did arrive on August 26, 2025, while the Switch edition kept waiting. By April 2026, Nintendo’s store page and multiple Nintendo news sites had aligned on April 30 as the console date. (gematsu.com) (nintendo.com) (gonintendo.com) For Something Classic, the release also brings its Shadows of Adam follow-up to Nintendo hardware after years of delays. On April 30, Quartet stops being a long-promised Switch port and becomes a live eShop game. (nintendoeverything.com) (nintendo.com)
