My Time at Portia releasing on Switch next year

Publisher Team17 has partnered with Pathea Games to bring My Time at Portia to Switch. The game is due out on Nintendo’s console in 2018.

My Time at Portia is a 3D sandbox RPG inspired by classics such as Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, Dark Cloud 2, and the works of Miyazaki. Find more information about the project below, along with an alpha trailer.

Setting sail for Portia, a town on the edge of civilization, you’ll arrive to find a workshop left to you by your Pa – a place where you can begin to craft a new life, using the relics from the past to improve life for the villagers in the town.

Gather materials from Portia’s stunning open world: cut down trees, forage for herbs, mine in the ruins and even grow your own garden. There are many unique areas for you to explore including deserts, island, reefs, highlands, marshlands, mines and more! There are even two different types of dungeons including abandoned dungeons filled with important resources such as relics and ores for you to harvest or more hazardous dungeons where you’ll be able to encounter and battle monsters!

The world of Portia will feel alive as the villagers have their own unique behaviours and will go to school, do their jobs, work out, have fun and have their own stories to share with you. You’ll be able to befriend and romance the villagers within Portia.
