Avignon, France – October 22nd, 2026 – Some things are better left unseen. Others are already watching. Independent developer Atlantis Studio invites players into the darkness today with the global launch of Beyond the Dark: Nightwatch, a two-player asymmetric co-op horror game for Nintendo Switch 2 at a price of €19.99. But escaping the horrors within the house is only the beginning. To celebrate the launch, a new single was released, “Beyond the Dark” and the Beyond the Dark Nightwatch – World Championship also begins today, challenging teams to put their skills and communication to the test for a chance to win a trip for two to Scotland.

Beyond The Game, Beyond The Night…

Accompanying the launch of Beyond the Dark: Nightwatch, the single “Beyond the Dark,” performed by Nico Augusto & Agnès Christol, is now available on all major music streaming platforms An intimate, late-night jazz atmosphere where piano and saxophone intertwine, echoing the tension, trust and connection between two players. A melody that lingers long after you’ve left the house.

Beyond the Dark Nightwatch – World Championship

Atlantis Studio kicks off the Beyond the Dark Nightwatch – World Championship, an international, skill-based competition running from October 22 to November 2, 2026. Players will team up in pairs to complete the game cooperatively, livestream their full playthrough on Twitch, and submit their highest scores via X, or email championship@beyondthedark.com using #BTDChampionship. The team achieving the highest verified score will win a trip for two to Edinburgh, Scotland, including five nights of hotel accommodation and round-trip transportation, with a total prize value of up to €4,500. The competition is free to enter and open to eligible participants aged 18 or over in participating territories where the game is officially sold. Full rules and eligibility requirements are available at beyondthedark.com.

“We wanted both players to feel responsible for each other,” said Nico Augusto, Creative Director of Atlantis Studio and Game Director. “The person behind the cameras matters just as much as the person inside the house. Neither has the full picture, and they have to trust each other to make it out together. But what makes it special is that the experience changes depending on who you play with. Your partner, your best friend or someone in your family will all react, communicate and make decisions differently. It’s the same house, but a different experience with every duo. We’ve put a lot of ourselves into this first game, and seeing players finally step inside together means a lot to us.”

About Beyond the Dark: Nightwatch

In Beyond the Dark: Nightwatch, one of the two players ventures into the darkness in first person, deep inside a house that seems to watch as much as it imprisons those who enter. Players search for clues, decipher signs and try to understand what is happening within its walls before the Gloam catches up with them.

The second player does not share the same perspective. From a network of cameras and tactical tools, they monitor, interpret, guide and warn. They see things differently. Sometimes they know more. Sometimes they understand less.

Communication and trust are literally the Gameplay.

It is within this gap between perspectives that the tension of Beyond the Dark: Nightwatch emerges. The game is not only about what you see, but about what you manage to communicate. Learning to trust someone who cannot see what you see becomes a matter of survival.

Game Features:

• A Two-Player Horror Experience: A gameplay loop designed exclusively for two players. In this house, you cannot survive alone. Survival demands constant communication. 
• Asymmetric Exploration: Combine information from two completely different perspectives to understand the House, solve its mysteries and stay alive.
• An Oppressive Environment: Explore a deeply unsettling and claustrophobic house filled with secrets and unseen threats.
• An Escape Guided by Communication: Give clear instructions, warn your partner of imminent dangers and coordinate every action if you hope to make it out alive.
• GameShare and Co-op: Designed from the outset as a two-player experience, the game allows players to team up through local co-op, GameShare, Local Network or online play.

Only one player needs to own the game. Thanks to the free Friend’s Pass, a second player can join the experience without purchasing an additional copy.

A day-one patch update will also be available at launch, bringing minor bug fixes, online connectivity improvements and additional stability enhancements to ensure a smoother co-op experience.

Beyond the Dark: Nightwatch is out now for Nintendo Switch 2. For more information and updates on the game, follow Atlantis Studio on X, Facebook, and YouTube.
