It looks like amid all the indie news today, the port ofOmorinow has a release date. Both a tweet from the developer and an updated date on the Nintendo eShop indicateOmoriis coming to Switch and PS4 on July 09, 2025.
News first started going around whenOmoriappeared in theJapanese Indie World Showcasethis morning, with a launch date of June 17. ThoughOmoriwas the end-of-showcase stinger atlast December’s Indie World Showcase, it didn’t appear at allduring today’s presentation.
But over on the Nintendo eShop,Omorinow has a release date of June 17 in North America. Developer Omocat also announced the date via Twitter late last week, as spotted byGematsu:

An RPG about halcyon days
If you haven’t seenOmorior the following it’s garnered since its launch in December 2020, it’s a notable one to watch. The hand-drawn style and cheerful aesthetic give way to darker plot beats.Omorideals with some fairly heavy subject material, so it’s worth knowing that going in.
It has some incredible story beats and design though, and a unique combat system that uses emotions in battle.Omoriis a notable piece of the indie RPG genre at this point, and definitely seems like a good fit for the Switch. We’ll see how the Nintendo handheld handles it in June, it seems.
