Indie game publishers Leoful and Happy Player are pleased to announce that the time-loop metroidvania, Dragon Loop, is launching as a Nintendo Switch physical edition on June 11, 2026.
In Dragon Loop, you play as Xi, a girl who is trapped in a five-day time loop where time changes the terrain in subtle ways. Use your five days wisely and plan your routes with the Time Map. Together with Xi’s companion Ouro, escape the loop through combat, exploration, and summoning defeated bosses as spirits.
Pre-orders will be available starting today at online and brick-and-mortar retailers in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and other Southeast Asian markets.

About Dragon Loop
Help Xi navigate a five-day time loop and figure out what happened to her memories in a vast hand-drawn world.
Together with her companion, Ouro, travel through a true metroidvania world where time changes the terrain in subtle ways. Escape the loop through exploration and battle. Change Xi’s fate and learn the truth of the Dragon Loop!
• Turn Bosses into Summonable Spirits
Defeat a wide range of interesting bosses to get exclusive summonable spirits. Destroy your foes with powerful Explosive Spirits, or summon Persistent Spirit companions to follow you around. Upgrade and evolve both types to enhance their combat power!
• Multipurpose Metroidvania Powers
Find rare Pearls to summon powerful tools that help you traverse the world. Spiky pufferfish, magnetic boxes, a vacuuming whale spirit… and more. Each has multiple uses in both combat and traversing the world, unlocking many ways to play!
• Fast-Paced Exciting Battles
Combine Xi’s strength with Ouro’s agility in fast-paced combat. Play well, manage your X-Rating, and boost your speed and combat power even further in this fast-paced combat system with no contact damage.
• Branches in Time
In Dragon Loop, time is a limited resource. Use your five days wisely and plan your routes through an easily-navigable Time Map. Explore and open up new worldlines to see how things play out differently. But don’t worry: this isn’t a roguelike; you never start from scratch.
