Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau brings its Japanese-style horror action to the Switch 2 on July 30. This launch matters because it adds a new console option for players who prefer handheld gaming over PC or home consoles. The game lets you fight back against spirits instead of just running away, which changes how players approach the scares.
Exclusive pointer controls arrive with the handheld release
AMATA Games publishes the title while developer Noto Muteki handles the creation. The Switch 2 version joins the game after it launched on PC via Steam in October 2024 and on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles in July 2025. This release schedule gives handheld owners a chance to play the story-driven horror experience on Nintendo's latest hardware.
- Release Date: July 30
- Platform: Switch 2
- Developer: Noto Muteki
- Genre: Japanese-style horror third-person shooter
- Stages: 10
The Switch 2 build includes a feature unique to this platform. Players can use mouse-like pointer controls with the Joy-Con 2 controller for aiming. The game contains 10 stages to clear and offers four different difficulty settings. Story-driven cutscenes provide context between the action sequences.
AMATA Games describes the experience as a third-person shooter where you are just as much of a threat as the spirits. The studio emphasizes that this is not a classic horror game where players cannot fight back. This design choice allows for more active combat encounters throughout the 10 stages.
We looked at the last Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau update earlier while tracking similar horror game releases. The Switch 2 version arrives globally on July 30 with no separate pricing information listed yet. Players can now add this active horror shooter to their Switch 2 library when it becomes available.
