Cytus 2 confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch

Flyhigh Works, Esquadra and Rayark said on May 22 that *Cytus II* will come to Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch in 2027, extending the rhythm game beyond the iOS and Android release that debuted in January 2018. The announcement appeared in publisher coverage and in a teaser published by Rayark, which described the Nintendo editions as a new console version rather than a simple reposting of the mobile game. Reports from Nintendo Everything, Gematsu and VGChartz all carried the same 2027 window. ### Who is bringing the game to Nintendo hardware? Flyhigh Works is publishing the Nintendo versions, and Esquadra is handling development work on the port, according to Gematsu and VGChartz. Rayark remains the original developer behind *Cytus II*, which first launched on mobile and became one of the company’s better-known rhythm titles alongside *Deemo* and *Voez*. (nintendoeverything.com) Nintendo Everything said Flyhigh Works and Rayark announced the project together, while other game outlets identified Esquadra as the port developer. Taken together, the reports point to a three-company arrangement: Rayark as the original creator, Flyhigh Works as publisher, and Esquadra as the studio adapting the game for Switch hardware. (gematsu.com) ### What is actually new in the Switch versions? Rayark’s teaser said the Nintendo release will feature “over 500” tracks and add “brand-new characters, songs, and features.” Nintendo Everything separately reported that the game is heading to Nintendo platforms “with new songs and characters,” and VGChartz said the console version will include songs from the mobile release along with new songs and new characters. (nintendoeverything.com) The wording matters because it suggests the Switch editions are being positioned as an expanded package rather than only a platform migration. None of the cited reports gave a final song count, pricing, or a detailed breakdown of which mobile content will be included at launch. ### How big is Cytus II at this point? *Cy­tus II* first launched for iOS and Android on January 18, 2018, Gematsu said. (youtube.com) Several reports on the Switch announcement also said the game has surpassed 18 million downloads worldwide, a figure used to frame the size of the existing mobile audience ahead of the Nintendo release. Nintendo Everything described the game as carrying more than 500 songs from Japanese and Taiwanese artists across multiple genres. (youtube.com) Rayark’s teaser used similar language, emphasizing the size of the music library and the story-driven framing of the *Cytus II* universe. ### Is there a release date or Nintendo store page yet? (gematsu.com) The only date attached to the announcement so far is a 2027 launch window. Nintendo’s U.S. coming-soon page for Switch platforms is live, but *Cytus II* was not visible in the search snippet returned with broader upcoming releases, which means the listing may not yet be surfaced prominently or may appear later by region. (nintendoeverything.com) Gematsu, VGChartz and Nintendo Everything all matched on the 2027 timing, and no report cited a specific month, day or price. Rayark’s teaser also used “coming soon to Nintendo Switch & Switch 2” rather than a narrower date. ### What comes next for players watching this release? The next concrete milestone is a fuller product listing from Nintendo, Flyhigh Works, or Rayark with pricing, regional store pages and a more exact release date. (nintendo.com) For now, the public record is the May 22 announcement, the teaser trailer from Rayark, and a 2027 window repeated across publisher and game-media reports. (youtube.com) (gematsu.com)
