Developer IKINAGAMES will release Starbites on Nintendo Switch 1 and Switch 2 on 21 May 2026, the studio has confirmed.

Starbites is a sci‑fi‑tinged role‑playing adventure that blends classic turn‑based combat with mech piloting. Players take on the role of salvager Lukida, who pilots a slingshot‑focused Motorbot in an effort to protect the desert world of Bitter. The game pairs strategic, turn‑based encounters with mech customisation and exploration elements.

A planned Game‑Key Card physical release for the title has been scrapped, with IKINAGAMES now proceeding without that format. Digital distribution on the Nintendo Switch platforms remains scheduled for the announced 21 May date.

Details were reported by Nintendo Life; further information on features and distribution is expected from IKINAGAMES in the lead up to launch.
