In development · 2027Survival horror
Onyx: The Dark Grip is an upcoming survival horror video game developed by Bloober Team and released under their Broken Mirror Games label for the Nintendo Switch 2. The narrative follows Holden, a man who awakens within a strange town filled with supernatural occurrences. He must endure while being controlled by an unseen presence that affects both his actions and the environment around him, guiding him toward safety.
The game is presented in 2.5D and is designed for exclusive play on the Nintendo Switch 2 console in Handheld Mode. Players control both Holden and the "Entity" asynchronously. The Entity can act within the world and influence Holden through the touchscreen and tilt features of the console, which are used to solve puzzles and allow Holden to perceive the thoughts of others he encounters. As Holden becomes more aware of these events, players must manage his mental state while exploring the town.
Bloober Team first revealed the project in July 2024, describing it as a collaborative effort involving creators from around the world with support from Nintendo. The official announcement came in September 2026. The studio referenced the Resident Evil and Silent Hill franchises along with Limbo (2010) and Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (2002) as inspirations for The Dark Grip, aiming to create a unique experience tailored specifically for Nintendo hardware.
Onyx: The Dark Grip is set for release on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027. The game will be available in Single-player mode only.
