Indie developer Freshly Baked Games has announced that its first-person RPG *Queen’s Domain* will launch on Switch 2 on 30 October, with Future Friends as publisher. Inspired by FromSoftware’s early *King’s Field* games, it pairs retro fantasy visuals with stamina-based action combat; the article presents it as an option for players seeking an old-school style of RPG.

The game is set on an interconnected island and promises more than 50 melee weapons, over 20 types of throwing weapons, and more than 100 enemies, mini-bosses and bosses. Players can level up with experience points, improve stats by eating food, and use an upgradeable Holy Sword to fly across gaps; the developer says it offers dozens of hours of exploration. It has received more than 180,000 Steam wishlists since its initial reveal.
