Classics-inspired survival horror games, ‘Heaven Dust’ and ‘Heaven Dust 2’, get a dual physical Nintendo Switch release on 2 February

Super Rare Games will be partnering with One Gruel Studio and indienova for a double release of its zombie survival horror games, Heaven Dust and Heaven Dust 2, both coming physically to the Nintendo Switch as one Heaven Dust Collection for the very first time.

A total of 4,000 copies total will ever be printed, which go on sale on 2 February at 6 pm GMT (10 am PT/1 pm ET) – available worldwide exclusively on its website.

This rare physical release comes with both games on the cart, a full-colour manual, interior artwork, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards. Fans also won’t be waiting for long as Super Rare Games titles ship shortly after release. 

An ode to 90s horror game series like Resident Evil, the Heaven Dust Collection takes the player through a classic survival horror experience, with plenty of exploration, action, puzzles to solve, and resource management.

In 1970, a scientific investigation team found a new virus in the blood samples from a primitive tribe called “Torkue” in New Guinea. Among some scientists, there is a belief that it will lead to the discovery of the secret of immortality, hence why they name the virus “Heaven Dust.” Little did they know that it wasn’t actually a gift from Heaven but would open the gates to Hell instead.

After the destruction of the research facility in New Guinea following an incident involving the mutant virus, “Heaven Dust” was brought to the US. Further research is being carried out by the subsidiary company StarDust. 

Heaven Dust 2 – A standalone sequel to the first Heaven Dust game.

A virus outbreak happens in the mysterious First Research Center after a press conference goes wrong. While the chaos unfolds, deep within the institute, Steve wakes up from his cryogenic pod. Rather than having a peaceful awakening, he finds himself trapped in a living hell, surrounded by zombies, once more.
