Pix’n Love has announced a new physical edition of the game set to launch in October 2026, with a Collector’s Edition to follow in Winter.

And if you’d like to see more about what we think of MIO: Memories in Orbit, be sure to check out our full review. We gave it an 8\/10 and said:<\/p>\n

“MIO is a compelling adventure with solid platforming and combat. The Vessel is a great place to explore and the mod system adds versatility. A great Metroidvania, then, though its similarities to genre heavyweights stop it from being essential. If you are in the mood for another tightly designed Metroidvania on Switch, however, this is an easy recommendation.”<\/p>\n
