FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AGUASCALIENTES, Mexico — Nov. 11, 2026 — Castlebound, the colorful, co-op storybook-inspired 2D action platformer, developed by Ogre Pixel that fully funded on Kickstarter within four hours, protects the realm today on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch platforms.
Rush to the defense of a bewitched castle transformed into a walking fortress! Join the skilled archer Lenora, her grandfather Vargus, and their pals Quinn and Garrik to fend off relentless attacks. Vanquish forest creatures, ghosts, trolls, and dragons with Lenora’s arrows, Vargus’s magic, Quinn’s slingshot, and Garrik’s knightly blade. Wield one, or join a team in local co-op that supports up to four players.
Earn powerful upgrades by completing each stage of non-stop platforming action, strengthening skills through roguelike progression. After each run, spend Soul Coins in the castle to upgrade each hero, unlock new abilities, and push farther in the next adventure!
The walking citadel visits a vivid and eclectic mix of fantasy-inspired locations. Fight through mythical forests, dispel the undead in ghostly graveyards, and scout high ground in the heat of an active volcano, brought to life by hand-crafted, 2D visuals inspired by storybook classics and cartoon favorites.
“This has been an incredible journey, and we couldn’t have done it without the dedication of the Castlebound community that helped fully fund our campaign in less than four hours,” said Steve Durán, Director and Designer at Ogre Pixel. “Now Castlebound is ready to stomp across the whole world.”
Castlebound is available on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch platforms. Language support includes English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), as well as German.
