ABOUT NINTENDO SWITCH
Our hope was always to launch simultaneously on all platforms. Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen difficulties with development we made the decision to move ahead with launching on PC and mobile with a launch on Nintendo Switch to follow at a later date. But worry not! We will have news about the Switch launch very soon! It's not far behind!
