While Pugstorm continues chipping away at its 2D side-scroller Kyora, it has a free new update, Void and Voltage, for Core Keeper launching on January 28th, 2026. It also marks the survival crafting title’s debut on Nintendo Switch 2. Check out the announcement trailer below.
Void and Voltage adds Breaker’s Reach, a new biome with a boss and enemies. You can craft new weapons like the Flamethrower and Minigun or craft new tools with the Advanced Automation Table, including the Robot Farm Arm, Seed Extractor Machine, Shredder, Critter Catcher, and more.
The Switch 2 version offers 60 FPS performance alongside various graphical improvements for the lighting, particle effects, shadows, and more. It also allows for up to eight players in a single co-op session, up from four on the Switch 1, but don’t worry – you can engage in cross-play if a Switch 2 player is hosting.
