Fountains: 2D Soulslike Coming to PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch in 2026

Fountains, an indie action role-playing game that blends the exploration style of classic Zelda titles with the challenging combat mechanics of a Soulslike, is expanding its reach to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series consoles.

Console Expansion and 2026 Release Window

According to announcements verified across multiple gaming publications, Fountains is scheduled to arrive on modern console hardware in 2026. The upcoming release window accompanies confirmation that the game will launch on Sony’s PlayStation 5, Microsoft’s Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo’s hybrid console, broadening an audience previously focused on its 2D PC roots.

Developer updates indicate that the console ports will debut alongside a dedicated expansion.

Design Influences and Gameplay Mechanics

Industry coverage highlights Fountains as a deliberate fusion of two distinct design philosophies: the open-ended item-driven progression of early Zelda games and the deliberate, stamina-managed combat loop popularized by modern Soulslike titles.

As the 2026 launch window approaches, developers have yet to confirm exact pricing or specific technical performance targets for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch versions.
