TheDrawn to Lifeseries was pretty popular back in the days of theWii and Nintendo DSfor the way it gave players the ability to design their own hero and platforming elements in order to navigate colorful 2D worlds. Since then, however, those original games have largely fallen into obscurity, but it’s possible that the release ofDrawn to Life: Two Realmsthis week could see them make a return on modern systems.
It’s been eleven years since the series last got a new title, but the wait will be ending in two days time withTwo Realms. Whereas the previous games were developed by5th Cell, this time around development is being handled by New York-based studio Digital Continue, whose founder, Joseph Tringali, was an executive producer on those earlier titles.

During an interview with Nintendo Everything, Tringali was asked about those games and whether they might ever get re-released onthe Switch, a console known for its many ports of older titles. He replied by saying that he’s given it “a good amount of thought” and would “love to tackle” a re-release. It couldn’t be a direct port, he explained, since the original games were so reliant on the DS’ touchscreen and stylus, but “there are some cool ideas that I think could work well.”
Along with bringing back the older games, he said that he would also love to do a “bigger sequel” as a followup toDrawn to Life: Two Realms, as well as games that could expand beyond the series' traditional platformer gameplay. However, he made it clear that any future plans will be dependent onTwo Realms’ reception and whether or not enough people are interested in seeing moreDrawn to Lifein 2020 and beyond.
Drawn to Life: Two Realmswill launch on December 7 for Mobile, PC, and Switch.
