Knights Peak and Windup Games are bringing Hela: of Mice & Magic to Nintendo Switch 2 at retail. Its Harmony Edition will use a game-key card instead of a standard game cartridge.
The announcement, reported by Nintendo Everything, confirms that the digital and physical versions are planned for the fourth quarter of 2026. Neither version has a specific launch date, and pre-orders do not yet have a start date.
What the Harmony Edition Includes
The Harmony Edition includes a physical game-key card, a digital soundtrack download, and a 48-page softcover artbook. It also comes with a protective sleeve, a reversible poster featuring the game’s map, and an exclusive sticker set.
Nintendo Everything reports a suggested retail price of €/$39.99. The announcement does not explain the game-key card’s download requirements or storage needs. It also does not confirm when retailers will open pre-orders.
A Mouse’s Journey Through a Magical World
Hela: of Mice & Magic follows a small mouse after a kind witch falls ill. The mouse and the witch’s other familiars must gather ingredients and brew potions to help restore her strength.
The game takes players through Scandinavian-inspired landscapes. Its environments include magical forests, tranquil lakes, and rugged mountain trails. Players can glide, collect resources, solve puzzles, and uncover story fragments as they explore.
A magical backpack lets the mouse interact with objects and gather materials. The game also features puzzles, changing environments, and objects with realistic physical behaviour, according to the announcement.
Players can complete the adventure alone or with others. The confirmed multiplayer options include local split-screen play and online co-op.
Acts of kindness also affect the world and its characters. However, the announcement does not explain the full scope of those changes or how they alter the story.
What the Switch 2 Release Means for Buyers
The retail announcement confirms the Nintendo Switch 2 platform, the Harmony Edition contents, the €/$39.99 suggested price, and the fourth-quarter 2026 window. It does not confirm resolution, frame-rate targets, loading performance, or other technical details.
That leaves the physical edition’s value centered on its extras rather than confirmed technical differences. Players who want the artbook, map poster, soundtrack, and stickers will have a clear reason to consider the Harmony Edition. Those who only want access to the game may prefer the digital version once its price and launch date receive confirmation.
The game-key card also means buyers should check the final packaging details before purchase. Knights Peak and Windup Games have not announced the required download size or storage information.
Hela: of Mice & Magic is planned for Nintendo Switch 2 in the fourth quarter of 2026. What do you think of the Harmony Edition and its game-key card? Share your reaction, expectations, or memories of collecting physical game editions in the comments.
