DreadOut 2 Switch physical release in the works

DreadOut 2 is now taking the physical route on Switch. After its previous digital launch on the console, Soft Source Publishing is readying the game for retail. The boxed copy is due out in the Americas on November 1, 2024.

DreadOut 2, a third-person horror adventure game, was previously made available on Switch via the eShop. Now fans will have an opportunity to add it to their physical collections.

Play as Linda, a high school student with supernatural power – the ability to sense and see ghosts.

With the aid of her trusty smartphone, Linda must hunt the nightmarish spirits and dark forces that threaten not only her hometown but all of mankind. This spine-chilling sequel expands on the cult hit original with all-new melee combat and a greater emphasis on exploration, making DreadOut 2 another compelling and terrifying addition to the horror genre.
