American Fugitive heading to Switch later this year

The new action open-world sandbox game American Fugitive is in the works for Switch, publisher Curve Digital and developer Fallen Tree Games have revealed. The game is launching later this year on the eShop.

We have the following overview and trailer:

Set in a sleepy American country town in the 1980s, American Fugitive invites you to play as Will Riley. You’re no angel, but you’re not a killer. Yet the cold-blooded murder of your dad is the crime they’ve locked you up for. Fuelled by grief and a burning desire for vengeance, you must break out of jail to find the real culprit. It’s payback time.

American Fugitive is the latest creation from Fallen Tree Games, an independent studio made of AAA talented developers previously known for working on titles such as TimeSplitters, Crysis, and Goldeneye 007: Reloaded. With their latest release they are looking to establish a new era in the sandbox game genre.

Through the fast-paced gameplay the player will discover the joy of top-down carnage with stunning 3D graphics and destructible environments, dramatic storytelling and epic car-chase mayhem.

Key features include:

– A mature action game based on an original story – Unravel a plot of mystery, deception and corruption, full of twists and turns, inhabited by a motley cast of law-breakers and law- enforcers.
– A charming open-world environment – Explore Redrock County, a beautiful and vibrant slice of 80s rural north America, on foot or by car.
– Choose the life of a felon – Rob houses, steal cars, arm yourself to the teeth. Just don’t get caught!
