News Nintendo Switch 2 Upcoming Releases Wonderful Monster-Catching RPG 'Cassette Beasts' Is Getting A Switch 2 Sequel Back to '02 by Jim Norman Mon 8th Jun 2026 Share: Bytten Studio, the dev behind 2023's wonderful Cassette Beasts , was teasing that it had something to reveal at the PC Gaming Show, and what do you know, it's a full-blown sequel! Cassette Beasts 2002 is another Pokémon-inspired creature collector/battler, where you'll use the magic of your cassette player to transform into and control monsters through a series of turn-based battles. There are over 240 beasts to discover this time around, any two of which can be combined together — that's a lot of fusion options. This one deploys the same visual style as its predecessor, with pixel art sprites standing out against more detailed backdrops, and it even brings Crush 40's own Johnny Gioeli (the voice behind Sonic Adventure 2 's 'Live & Learn') into the soundtrack mix. There's no sign of a firm release date at the time of writing, but we'll be keeping an eye out in the coming months. Here's a rundown of the key features and a handful of screenshots, so you can see the action up close: Deep Battle Systems - Alongside an eclectic roster of companions, seek out, record, and transform into powerful beast forms to turn the odds of battle.

Prepare utility, support, and offensive attacks alongside elemental advantages to overcome even the fiercest opponent. Rogue monsters will even learn from players’ battle techniques, adapt, and return with new challenges. Fuse Monster Forms - Record beasts encountered on the field to change forms in turn-based combat. With over 250 beasts to choose from, including evolutionary lines, there are over 50,000 beasts to fuse into, all fully animated.
