Wavetale getting a physical release on Switch

Wavetale, which initially came to Switch as an eShop download, is now set to receive the physical treatment. Super Rare Games is in charge of production.

4,000 copies will be printed, split between 2,000 standard editions and 2,000 steelbook editions. The standard release comes with all current content on its cart, a full-color manual, interior artwork, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards while. The steelbook edition includes everything we just mentioned plus the steelbook case, a slipcover and a postcard.

We have more information about Wavetale below, which initially hit Switch at the end of 2022.

Speed through the waves, swing yourself from housetops with your net, and defeat an old nemesis to save the citizens of the islands. All with a bit of help from the shadows down below—and your cranky grandmother.

Explore an open sea and the decaying archipelago of Strandville in Wavetale, a story-driven action-adventure game introducing you to fed-up fishermen, secretive hermits – and maybe a pirate or two. Traverse calm waters and surging waves as Sigrid, a young girl who befriends a mysterious shadow that provides her with the power to walk on water.

Key Features

• Speed through the open sea and swing yourself between buildings in this fast-paced adventure.
• Experience a heartwarming story about loss and reconciliation.
• Make new acquaintances amongst Strandville’s diverse cast of islanders – from the charmingly cocky surfer girl to an old fisherman turned fashion designer.
• Change your appearance with collectible hats, hair dyes, and outfits.
• Fill the pages of Sigrid’s scrapbook with special drawings to learn more about her world.

Pre-orders for the physical versions of Wavetale for Switch start on May 25 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM in the UK / 7 PM in Europe here. Super Rare Games titles ship shortly after release.
