The isometric adventure game will be hitting the European eShop on November 16th for £29.99 and will need 3.1 GB for your Switch, the game’s date for overseas is still not finalized at this point it seems. Here is a quick synopsis of the upcoming game from GoNintendo:

“As a contemporary take on the long-lost isometric platform genre, Lumo can be enjoyed by anyone looking for an absorbing, challenging and rewarding adventure. But for those who lived through the golden age of videogames – the 80s and early 90s – or know about the games and culture from that time, layer upon layer of nods, winks and touches to those times help build upon an experience that’s as heart-warming as it is exciting!”
