Console Ports and Physical Edition
Confirmed platforms include PS5, Xbox Series, and both Switch 1 and Switch 2. The port is being handled by a separate team taking care of everything from code adjustments to store integration and marketing.
No specific release date has been set, but the studio has been open about the timeline. The game should arrive on consoles before the end of the year. Slormite Studios also confirmed they will be leveraging improvements made for the console port to provide a better experience on Steam Deck.
Along with the console announcement, the publishers revealed a partnership with Maximum Entertainment for the physical edition of The Slormancer. The studio recently received a presentation for a Deluxe Edition planned for consoles - it is expected to include a copy of the game, stickers, the soundtrack, and even a strategy guide.
What Is The Slormancer?
The Slormancer was published on Steam Early Access in April 2021 and left Early Access for its 1.0 release on May 13, 2025. The game currently holds a Very Positive rating on Steam, based on over 3,150 user reviews.
The game is a 2D action RPG dungeon crawler in which players choose from three classes - Knight, Huntress, or Mage - and battle procedurally generated waves of enemies. Its core hook is extreme build flexibility: every previously unlocked skill, weapon, and item remains swappable at any time across all three characters.
Here is a quick breakdown of the key content pillars:
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Classes | 3 (Knight, Huntress, Mage) |
| Abilities per class | 200+ unique skills, upgrades & passives |
| Slorm Reapers (weapons) | 120 unique, evolvable weapons |
| Ancestral Legacy skills | 150+ element-based skills |
| Environments | 7 procedurally generated biomes |
Each class also supports 3 specializations, and the Ancestral Skill Tree adds elemental powers spanning Fire, Ice, Thunder, Light, and Shadow. The item system features normal, magic, rare, epic, and legendary tiers with 200+ unique affixes, and item reinforcement has no hard cap.
A Whimsical Witch Is Also on the Way
Beyond the console ports, Slormite Studios is actively expanding the PC version. A new Whimsical Witch class is slowly but surely taking shape and is expected to arrive as a future content update - adding a fourth playable character to the roster.
The Bottom Line
The Slormancer is a deep loot-driven action RPG that has spent four years earning its strong reputation on PC. The Switch announcement is a natural fit for a game built around short, replayable runs and extensive build tinkering - exactly the kind of session-flexible experience that plays well in handheld mode. With a physical Deluxe Edition confirmed and a targeted 2026 window, this is one for Switch owners to keep on the radar.
