Adventure game Venice 2089 hitting Switch next week

Venice 2089 previously came to PC at the end of last year, but a new console version is just about ready to go on Switch. According to an eShop listing, it will launch on July 27, 2023.

The game is officially described as an “emotional and thought-provoking adventure”. Players can explore a future Venice that’s struggling with the effects of slowly rising water and destroying the city in the process. You’ll play as a bored teenager who has a hoverboard and a drone. 

Here’s the official eShop description:

Explore a future Venice struggling with the effects of rising water slowly destroying the city as a bored teenager, with your hoverboard and your trusty drone. In Venice 2089, you’ll explore the city through the eyes of Nova, a bored teenager who has no clue about what to do in life and just wants to relax from the stress of their usual routine.

Use your hoverboard to navigate the streets of Venice in a unique 2.5D art style, perform tricks and create a dynamic soundtrack that’ll match your mood. Interact with the world using your drone, collect objects out of your reach, and solve some puzzles.

Meet a diverse cast of characters scattered throughout the city. Know their personalities, learn their points of view, and help them in different quests. Fill your houseboat with important objects, and remember the experiences you made.
