Games announced for Switch this week – 13/08 – 19/08
This is a big week folks, not only did we get the announcement of Diablo 3 Eternal Edition coming to Switch, the first Blizzard game on a Nintendo platform in 18 years, it is also the last list before Gamescom, so a lot of folks are trying to get their announcements out now, ahead of the show. As is now standard, we have three highlighted games, then the rest in a nice list at the bottom, so here we go.
Road Redemption
Originally announced as a Wii U game via a Kickstarter, with the death of that platform, a lot of people were worried that it would not make the jump to Switch, but the developers have announced that it is now coming. Road Redemption finds players leading a biker gang on an epic journey across the United States in a driving combat road rage adventure. Earn money by completing races, assassinations, robberies, and other challenges. Complete with a huge single-player campaign, dozens of weapons, full 4-player co-op split-screen, and online multiplayer, Road Redemption marks a return to those halcyon days of brutal, arcade-style, action racing.
Gear.Club Unlimited 2
Eden Games are back with the announcement that Gear.Club Unlimited 2 is coming to Switch later this year, a year after the first hit the platform. Sadly we don’t know much beyond it, the developer has promised over 1800 miles of drivable roads, in some of the “most beautiful cars made by top manufacturers”, but that is it really. Destinations will be the same as the first game, snowy mountains, desert roads and coastal trips, but unless the game loses the mobile length of races, it might be a non-starter. With the game coming in the next few months, only time will tell how it is going to end up.
Gone Home
At this point, I am not sure there is much to be said about Gone Home, the game released to critical acclaim a few years and now it is coming to Nintendo Switch. Set in the year 1995, Gone Home puts the player in the role of a young woman returning from overseas to her rural Oregon family home to find her family currently absent and the house empty, leaving her to piece together recent events.
